'The team that plays the most effective rugby on the day will win.'
“At the end of the day both teams have immense respect for one another, and while this aspect may be entertaining for the fans, the match will come down to who plays the most effective rugby on the day.”The Boks returned to training on Tuesday after taking Monday off due to their match against Romania being on Sunday, with them having a shortened week heading into the Irish clash, which Nienaber admits they are well prepared for.
“We’ve known for a long time that we would have a shorter turnaround for this match, and we planned accordingly in terms of training and team selection for the last two games,” said Nienaber. “The early kick-off against Romania also assisted as we had the whole night on Sunday to begin our recovery, so we are ready for what lies ahead.”
