Salmaan Moerat said back-to-back wins in Australia will give the Springboks plenty of confidence for two blockbuster showdowns with New Zealand back home.
Moerat will lead a Bok team against the Wallabies at Optus Stadium on Saturday, featuring 10 changes from the side that cruised to victory in the opening round of the Rugby Championship in Brisbane.
Speaking to the media on Friday in the buildup to the Perth clash, the towering lock emphasised the focus within the team all week has been to improve on last week while preparing for a massive backlash from the hosts. “One thing that’s for certain is that everyone in this team is desperate for this chance and they want to cement their places in the squad with an eye on the New Zealand Tests.
