The re-emergence of Rassie Erasmus’ disco lights have caused a stir. Erasmus, the world’s most famous waterboy and South Africa’s Director of Rugby was first spotted using his now famed disco lights at the Rugby World Cup during the Springboks’ 18-3 win over Scotland in a first-round match in Marseille.
Here at RugbyDump, we’re keen to get to the bottom of this rudimentary signalling system to see if we can crack the code and figure out what on earth is going on!
We’ve canvassed expert opinions and have come up with a short list of what each colour means.
