.Springboks coach Jacques Nienaber has hailed the performance of his much-changed side following their RugbyChampionship victory over Argentina. By WynonaLouw | IOLsport
“The nice thing is when you make so many changes, the positive thing is that there is nice energy, they haven’t played in a while and you could see the guys who played a lot during the Lions Series were a bit sore. The problem with that is continuity, but they handled it well," Nienaber said after the game.
“We will have a look and see . Argentina are a proud rugby nation and they will definitely come back, so we will have to look at the injuries and the changes we make. “We knew that cohesion would be an issue with so many changes, but the guys got really stuck in. Argentina are a tough nut to crack but hats off to the players ... I thought their analysis they did was spot on and the plans they put in place were great.
“That is the beauty of the squad in terms of competition. Our training sessions have been filled with competition. The guys know if they don’t do their best then the next guy will take over.”@WynonaLouw
