Springbok coach Jacques Nienaber is bracing himself for another arm wrestle when his team meet Scotland at Murrayfield on Saturday.
The Boks had to slug it out for the better part of their clash against Wales at a rain-soaked Principality Stadium last weekend and the coach is anticipating another battle at close quarters with no inches offered or given.If it is in conditions like we played last Saturday, where it was raining from start to finish, it is going to be another grind,” Nienaber predicted.
If you look at their No 9, their No 10 and their No 15, you face British & Irish Lions players,” he said about Ali Price, Finn Russell and Stuart Hogg.
