“They play a totally different brand of rugby to what we are doing here in South Africa. It’s more about physicality and understanding the game, which has helped me as a player. It’s helped me help my teammates to get a better understanding of the game. “I don’t know how many times we have played Spain, only to come short,” said Mpupha. “That was a huge pressure off our backs, after winning in Japan as well. That showed us we can beat teams who are ranked higher than us.
