JOHANNESBURG - The Springboks have one more chance to end their nine-year winless run against the Wallabies in Australia on Saturday.
Springbok captain Siya Kolisi says it has been an emotional week and the team has been hurting since last Saturday’s disappointing 25-17 loss and they had been working hard to rectify what went wrong. There were few things that went the way of the South Africans in that Rugby Championship match at the Adelaide Oval. Although they dominated territory and possession for large parts of the game, they were unable to capitalise on any pressure they created and found themselves behind on the scoreboard from the word go.
“I think anyone who was watching would say with all the opportunities we had, we [should have] converted them into tries. It’s a positive thing about the game that we created the opportunities but where we were guilty is not to convert them into points,” Stick said.
