WATCH All Black head coach Scott Robertson’s hilarious reaction when he found out that Rassie Erasmus planned to name the Springbok team on Monday.
Razor, as he’s affectionately known, was taken aback when asked what his thoughts are on Erasmus naming his team early in the week.
The former Crusaders mentor was genuinely caught by surprise and gave his thoughts on the matter.

“He’s naming his team today [Monday]? Did we know that?” a bemused Robertson reacted.
“He’s had a couple of late nights, didn’t he?” Razor joked afterwards.
“Excuse me, I probably should’ve known that and probably should’ve been briefed on that.
“But it’s great. We’ll find out tonight [Monday].
“That’s what you love about him [Rassie Erasmus], hey, you just don’t know what’s coming and that’s outstanding.”

When asked if he thought it was a reaction from Erasmus to the Eden Park loss, he was quite diplomatic in his response.
“I can’t speak on what happened in those [Bok] meetings and the reaction to it, but he’s definitely got a strong will, and he’s happy for the team to be named early.
Razor also said that there isn’t much of an advantage to the All Blacks despite the Boks having named their team so early in the week.
“They’ve been doing it for a while now. It’s not new, nor the first time they’ve done it.
“It works for them, so it gives you some insight into one or two areas, but you don’t change too much because of that.”.
