Springbok assistant coach Mzwandile Stick has responded with disappointment to a comment attributed to Bulls coach Jake White that the senior national team isn’t the place to learn lessons.
“We are looking forward to the weekend, we know it is going to be as tough as it always it but the preparations have gone very well. We have looked at the games and we have seen where they were strong the last game and we have worked hard on that this week.”“The Wales team hasn’t changed much, I think it is only Josh Adams starting. We play a similar style of rugby. Set pieces are obviously important and over the past two games we didn’t get our set pieces firing as best as we should have.
“But in the second half of the second game our maul started working. Its more about dominance and who kicks more accurately in set pieces. What they have done well over the past few games is obviously taking their opportunities. “In the first Test in Pretoria, they had two opportunities in the first half and they scored two tries.”
