The Springboks are bracing themselves for a massive international window, which includes the defence of the Rugby World Cup in September in France.
As the holders of the Webb Ellis Cup, the Boks have a target on their back, teams want to knock them off their perch. Hosts France are odds-on favourites, followed by Ireland, the Boks and New Zealand with Australia and England lurking at the back.
Going into the World Cup in Japan in 2019, the Boks were the underdogs and now they are the team to beat. However, that does not frighten them according to star Lukhanyo Am.We obviously know we are the defending champions and the teams will come for us, but we are also in a good position as a group. We are not the only favourites in the World Cup,I reckon any out of the top five in the rankings could go all the way. For us, we have got the experience in the camp.
