Springbok coach Jacques Nienaber said the conversion of opportunities is something they have to get better for Saturday's Test against France in Marseille. | Sport24news
Springbok coach Jacques Nienaber acknowledged they need to be lethal in France's 22 when they meet on Saturday in Marseille.
Even in the Tests they lost to Wales, New Zealand, Australia and last week's defeat to Ireland in Dublin, they were in control for the better part of the games, but didn't have the points to show for their efforts.With the excellence of France's game and the fact they haven't lost in any of their last 11 matches, they pose a defensive threat that the Boks will have to get the better of to ensure they don't suffer a second defeat in a row.
Substitutes: 16 Malcolm Marx, 17 Steven Kitshoff, 18 Vincent Koch, 19 Marvin Orie, 20 Kwagga Smith 21 Cobus Reinach, 22 Manie Libbok, 23 Makazole Mapimpi He made some very good defensive reads against Ireland, even though he didn't make as much yardage with the ball.
