And, coach Jacques Nienaber has work to do with the team's kicking game and the set-pieces also need attention.

I think Nienaber will be pleased with the character shown by the players. They copped a lot of flak after the first Test, and more after the second Test, so there was a fair bit of pressure on the whole group going into the series decider last weekend. I also thought Handre Pollard ended the series well. He showed his value at No 10 and really it was simply a case of him getting game-time again and adjusting to Test rugby. We also need to remember he spent a lot of time over the last year injured and when he did play for Montpellier he was often used as a centre.
