With the first win against the All Blacks in the bag, the Springboks can now eye history this weekend against their traditional foes and bag a championship if they come out on top for a second time in a row.
The 31-27 victory in Johannesburg took the Springboks to 14 points on the log, eight ahead of the All Blacks with Argentina on five and Australia on four in this year’s Castle Lager Rugby Championship log.
As young upstart Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu said on Saturday, the team is more chasing excellence in ensuring their own high standards are met.“We don’t want a repeat of losing the second test, like what happened against Ireland in July, and that’s something we pushed for in Australia,” said Feinberg-Mngomezulu.
“We are pleased with how we are growing as a team, but I don’t think we’ll take our foot off the gas. We are really looking forward to next week’s match, and we know it is going to be equally as tough, if not tougher.” “It was special for the group as a whole. We placed a big emphasis on sticking together, especially during the tough times, so we are happy about the result.
