The Springboks, who suffered a narrow defeat to Australia in the Rugby Championship, have their eyes set on a much-improved performance as the sides clash once more.
After a closely contested affair that ended in Australia earning a narrow 28-26 win over world champions South Africa, the two world rugby giants are set to clash once more.
“That said, we know what we are capable of as a team, and we created sufficient opportunities to win last week, but we didn’t capitalise on them. So, we back our systems and structures, and it is now a matter of being as effective as possible in executing our plan.” The Bok players who had an off day the last time out, particularly flyhalf Handre Pollard and centre Lukhanyo Am, will be keen to showcase the skills which have made them household names in the rugby world.
“It’s an incredible milestone for Hoops on Saturday evening in Brisbane and it’s a testament to him as a person and a player,” Wallabies coach Dave Rennie said on Hooper’s milestone. “I’ve been so impressed with his leadership both on and off the field and his drive to be better every day.”
