Rassie Erasmus said former All Blacks flyhalf Tony Brown has been key in helping the Springboks get the edge over their arch-rivals following the streak-setting win in Cape Town.
Another epic comeback victory in Cape Town saw the Springboks set a new streak against their rivals in the professional era, while also returning the Freedom Cup to South Africa for the first time since 2009.The Springboks have now won four games in a row against the All Blacks, going back to the record-breaking victory in the World Cup warm-up match at Twickenham.
“There have been a lot of games that we have won by one point. So we are very realistic about where we are. A lot of those games could’ve gone against us. While South Africans will undoubtedly goad their Kiwi counterparts with the new winning streak, Erasmus was more measured about it.
