Daniel Gallan's argument is essentially this: the outrage and hand-wringing around Rassie Erasmus's squad announcement theatrics — the hotel reveals, the shifting selections, the deliberate opacity — is disproportionate and, frankly, tiresome. With more than 96 hours still to go before the third Test against New Zealand when the names were called, the piece uses the moment to draw a broader comparison with football's culture around team management and media, suggesting rugby's traditionalists could stand to loosen up. The Simpsons monorail reference in the opener signals the tone: this is a sceptical, lightly satirical take on the hysteria surrounding what is, at its core, a coach doing his job in his own way.
