I see it completely opposite. The pre-game speech has written itself. "It's us against the world boys. First, they punished the team by not including us in the wards, now they are trying to ban me from rugby, and worst of all, they tried to punish Siya after he spoke out. Let's eff them up physically."The timing of this is horrible, Does World Rugby want to punish us against England by announcing it just before the England game in the middle of preparations? Drop this decision in the player psyche just before a huge match? World Rugby is out for revenge and it's appalling. You have to wonder if former RFU president and now World Rugby b oss Bill Beaumont has had a big say in 1. The decision and 2. The timing of the decision to best support his home nation.
I guess these Boks at least know how to deal with adversity. First the world rugby player of the year snub now this clear attack on the whole team. Pure Politics in World Rugby
Us against the world is one of the best motivators in sport.
