Cue last week Sunday, when they took on the Wallabies on the Gold Coast. Another defeat, with a number of reasons such as ill-discipline from the Boks, poor goal-kicking, some questionable refereeing decisions at the scrums and missing off-the-ball tackles…
But it’s not good enough to beat Australia, and it will certainly not be enough to knock over the All Blacks in their 100th Test next Saturday. “You get tested differently, and for us, it’s a big eye-opener in terms of that,” Nienaber said.

But the issue is not having a Plan B when Plan A is not achieving results. There was some indication that the Boks were trying to add more width to their game against the Wallabies, with Handre Pollard and Willie le Roux looking for runners on the outside, and when the ball did go to hand, the visitors made some good metres.
