The Springboks will on Saturday perhaps have more reason to focus on themselves and their world champion qualities when they clash with Scotland at Murrayfield.
The build-up to the match has been dominated by talk of what crafty Scotland, with Finn Russell at flyhalf, may or may not do tactically. Instead of second-guessing themselves the Boks have focused their energy on — and have been emboldened by — what makes them tick.
“They have physical players and if you give them time and space, especially Russell and at the back , they will punish you. We must make sure that we are physical. It will be tough but we will be up for the challenge,” assured Stick.
