Rassie: Boks not resting on laurels

Rassie Erasmus is pleased with how the Springboks broke their drought in Brisbane, but is bracing for a backlash from the Wallabies in Perth.

The Springboks blasted Australia off the park to earn a five-try, bonus-point victory at a sold-out Suncorp Stadium on Saturday.

While Erasmus is happy, especially considering that the Boks were forced into late changes to their pack before kick-off, he said the way the game finished still left the world champions with something to work on. “We are happy with the performance, but not the three yellow cards,” Erasmus said. “We also didn’t cherish the ball and look after it like a piece of gold, but at times we played with good structure and intent. So, we certainly don’t want to throw points away like that.
