Springbok lock Lood de Jager has asked his teammates to show intent and be clinical in execution from the first whistle when they take on Wales in the third and final Test at Cape Town Stadium on Saturday.
The Boks take on the Welsh Dragons with the three-match series on the line and the vastly experienced De Jager wants them to eliminate mistakes and be fully focused on the job at hand.
“It is basically a final, it is 1-1 and the series is on the line — and I am sure Wales are treating it the same way,” De Jager said. “There is always pressure when you play for the Boks, especially at home and in front of our crowds. The first Test at Loftus with the crowds singing, I was almost more emotional than before the World Cup final.
“It's hard to control outcomes — what we can control is only the intensity that we start with. I think that’s the big thing, that we are going to go out there and bring intent from the first whistle to the last, then hopefully the score will take care of itself.”
