The Springboks arrived in Australia on Thursday in high spirits following an overnight flight from Johannesburg and had the rest of the day off to recover from the long journey before resuming their on-field preparations on Friday.
“It’s great to be in Australia and it has certainly added to our excitement for the Tests against theand the Castle Lager Rugby Championship as a whole,” said Springbok assistant coach Mzwandile Stick. “They will have additional time tonight to recover from the travel, and then we’ll hit the ground running on the training field on Friday.”Stick added that facing the Wallabies in Australia is always a massive challenge.
“We started the season well with three victories in our four matches to date , and although we would have loved to win the second Test against Ireland, we have a good base to build from going into the Rugby Championship.
