SA fielded a new-look team against Argentina that included 10 changes to the starting line-up that beat the British & Irish Lions in their previous Test. “It was beautiful to see, and I love our South African people. No matter how small, they always make that effort to be there and we want to say thank you to the people. It really means a lot to us, and we can’t wait for next week to finish strong.”
“When we play against southern hemisphere teams, it is a little more physical. Argentina challenge you in the breakdown, and in general they are very street smart and we have to be aware about everything we do. “Elton Jantjies was playing like Finn Russell and Dan Biggar in training and that helped us quite a lot.”
“The one thing I love about this team is that there are no senior players or anything like that, and everyone had their own job,” he said.
