Junior Boks coach laments lack of discipline in loss to Wallabies

Junior Springboks coach Bafana Nhleko says the team will work on their discipline following their loss to the Baby Wallabies.

'We played against ourselves but fair credit to Australia for capitalising on our errors,' said Nhleko.

“The disappointing thing is that we actually managed to build pressure at times, but then consistently released that pressure,” said Nhleko. “It was frustrating that we managed to get ourselves into the right areas of the field, but we let ourselves down with our execution. We don’t want it to be a recurring theme, so we need to get it right,” he said. The Junior Boks played the last 20 minutes of the first half with 14 men because of a red card to prop Mbasa Maqubela. Despite that, they were able to go to the break behind 10-7, with their score coming through a Van Heerden converted try.
