Pieter-Steph du Toit to captain the Springboks on his 100th Test in a must win match to save the Rugby's Greatest Rivalry series against the All Blacks.
Rassie Erasmus says the “hurting” Springboks are determined to respond to their bruising 33-16 defeat to the All blacks by correcting the mistakes that proved costly in Johannesburg.
Erasmus said the message has been clear: last week’s result must hurt — but it must also fuel them.
“One could see the hurt on everyone’s faces after Saturday’s match, and we know what we have to do to bounce back strongly this week,” Erasmus said on Monday.
“While we are fully aware of the challenging task ahead, we have regrouped and identified the areas of our game we need to fix, so we are ready and excited for the match in Cape Town.”
