VIDEO: Kurt Lee Arendse vs Marcus Smith and Cheslin Kolbe vs Owen Farrell

A lot of rugby fans would have thought that they'd seen a particular phase of play before during South Africa's convincing victory over England at Twickenham on Saturday evening.

Red-hot Bok right-wing Kurt-Lee Arendse flashed past England fly-half Marcus Smith on the way to scoring a sensational try that set off his team to a 27-13 victory in London. It was incredibly similar to the one that Cheslin Kolbe scored against the same opposition in the 2019 Rugby World Cup final to seal a 32-12 victory in Yokohama, Japan.

On that occasion, the fleet-footed Kolbe stepped inside of centre and Roses captain Owen Farrell. Beyond that, the nature of each five-pointer brought on a sense of déjà vu.

Spain Coach Luis Enrique and Rassie Erasmus' coaching techniques are comparable

Spain coach Luis Enrique and South African Rugby Union director of rugby Rassie Erasmus are the last people one would expect to compare.

Besides the sports they are renowned for, one boasts a World Cup title win while the other is chasing one, Sports Brief reported.

However, their innovative natures have seen similarities in how their teams play the Beautiful Game and the Gentleman's Game.
