Outside centre Lukhanyo Am says the Springboks can make amends for defeat by the All Blacks in Joburg on their Rugby Championship tour to Australia and Argentina.
South Africa convincingly beat New Zealand in the opening Test of the competition, but failed to register back-to-back wins as the Kiwis punished the world championsThe Boks next face Australia at Adelaide Oval on Saturday, 27 August, and again the following week in New South Wales on 3 September, before travelling to Argentina where they will meet the Pumas at Estadio Jose Amalfitani in Buenos Aires on 17 September.
“We had a few opportunities, and we didn’t capitalise on them, and there were crucial moments in the game that didn’t go our way such as a penalty being reversed and being caught off-guard on defence.” “Australia are a quality side and they have experience, so it is going to be another exciting opportunity for our team.
The Boks took another early injury blow at right wing with Jesse Kriel substituted in the first half that saw Am shift outside as part of a major backline reshuffle.“With the 6-2 split we have in the team, as a player, you slot in where the team needs you at the time. I’m a centre or a utility back and I’ll slot in wherever needed,” Am said.
