DETOUR: QUEUE FORCES HIM TO USE WOMEN'S TOILET.
Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus was in a jovial mood after his team clinched their fourth straight Rugby Championship win in 2024 at the Cape Town Stadium on Saturday night.
It was also the Boks' second consecutive victory against the All Blacks in the competition this year and their fourth straight win over their greatest rivals.
This puts them on the verge of winning the Rugby Championship with two games to go.

"To get to the toilet, you have to walk through the public area.
