The Springboks' foibles at line-out against the All Blacks have been addressed lock Lood de Jager assured ahead of Saturday's Rugby Championship Test against the Wallabies in Adelaide.

De Jager explained while the Kiwis cut the Bok line-out down to size, the home team failed to troubleshoot. Against a well-drilled and predatory Wallabies team the Springboks will look to keep the ball under the protective blanket of their forwards for longer. That means their ability to deliver in the primary phases has to be beyond reproach.
De Jager is in full anticipation of a Wallaby team desperate to bounce back from their chastening 48-17 defeat at the hands of Argentina in their last match. The Bok substitutes however, did not see through that brief against the All Blacks. While they did well to help get the team into the lead they fell off the pace in the closing minutes at Ellis Park.
