The Springboks will be better prepared when they take on Australia in their opening two games of the Rugby Championship Down Under.

Springboks have battled to win in Australia in recent years, but the coach is hoping an early arrival will help them get the right result.

The Springboks will be better prepared than they have been in previous years when they take on Australia in their opening two games ofhave had a poor record against the Wallabies in Australia in recent times, and broke an eight-year losing streak in the country in their second game against them during the 2022 Rugby Championship, coming out on top 24-8 in Sydney.

Bok coach Rassie Erasmus admitted that they have not been at their best on tours in Australia, but that they would not be making any excuses this time around.“We are certainly well aware . Every year there’s an excuse, whether it’s maybe the first time playing at a venue like Melbourne or whatever,” said Erasmus at a Bok press conference on Tuesday.

“It’s becoming a bit more difficult because some of the players are new to us. Joe Schmidt certainly isn’t new to us. We know they will be well-organised.”Erasmus went on to explain that the Boks were trying something new this season and would be arriving Down Under well ahead of the first match on August 10, with them flying out of South Africa on Wednesday morning, so they will be settled and ready late next week.
