Rassie Erasmus won't be at Twickenham on Saturday - in fact, if his ban stands he will miss match days for the Boks until the end of next summer - but his legacy will clearly be in evidence.
Let's put aside the nonsense that badly marred a disappointing Lions series and led to his ban this week.
I want to acknowledge what a clever and influential coach he is and, although South Africa have not always been easy on the eye under him, they won the World Cup, beat the Lions and after a dodgy spell in the Rugby Championship, signed off with a great win over New Zealand.
Rassie Erasmus' South Africa side successfully pioneered the use of the 'bomb squad' tactic
The Springboks often replace their entire front row very early in the second half - the theory goes that it is advantageous to finish the match with your first-choice forwards on the pitch
Having dealt pretty comfortably with Wales and Scotland, they are looking to finish off an epic season by beating England.
My instinct is to rage against their famed bomb squad.
Too many replacements are allowed in rugby and it skews the battle to find out not just who is the best team, but also who is the fittest team over 80 minutes.
However, the laws are as they are and the clever coach recognises that, even while perhaps disagreeing with them. So I can only say his introduction of the bomb squad - five or six quality forwards off the bench early in the second half - has more often than not proved to be masterly.
Most games between the top nations are very close on 50 minutes, the margin is a score or less. That means almost all the games between top countries are decided in the final half hour.
So there is a logic to having some of your best players coming on for that final half hour, firing on all cylinders. If you can bring on a front five and perhaps even a back row man who are better than those on the pitch, it makes a big difference.
South Africa are probably the only team on the planet with the strength in depth up front to pull it off. Their front row options on the bench are, to my eyes, better than their starting front row.
England coach Eddie Jones will have to find out a way to defuse the inevitable bomb squad
