Mzwandile Stick says that the Springboks are hungry to finish their mini-tour of Australia unbeaten as they brace for a Wallabies backlash in Perth on Saturday.
A Springbok team featuring 10 changes from the one that claimed a comfortable victory in the opening round of the Rugby Championship in Brisbane is locked and loaded to make another piece of history in Perth.
“We want to win the game tomorrow,” assistant coach Stick said. “That would be even better for us, to win two out of two away from home. We know that in the past it has not been easy for us to get a win in Australia. This includes loosehead prop Thomas du Toit, centre Lukhanyo Am and veteran wing Makazole Mapimpi, who all make their returns after missing out on last week’s game.
“There are lots of experienced players who are also getting opportunities. Guys like Thomas du Toit, Lukhanyo Am and Mapimps. These guys have been pushing really hard in training sessions. They are really training well as a team.
