Elrigh Louw has taken the viewpoint of after the rain comes the rainbow, with the Springbok saying he’s amped to potentially lift the Rugby Championship trophy this week.
“We obviously wanted to beat them there, but the motivation will always be there. So, we’ll take the battle to Mbombela and go from there.”Louw, who was one of a handful of players in Erasmus’ match-day 23 that played his first Test in Argentina, said they were not caught off-guard in the match with the vocal home crowd and Los Pumas’ physicality and tenacity, and he shared the coach’s sentiments that they missed out of a few chances could have seen them win the match.
“In the first few minutes we executed things very well, played our game, and took things to them. But then we made silly errors and slipped tackles which let them back in, and with the crowd behind them, it’s something you don’t want,” the Springbok addedLOUW EYES FIRST PIECE OF INTERNATIONAL SILVERWARE
“It’s not something that I thought I would be able to achieve, and we are only a game away from possibly doing it. So, I’m very motivated and I can’t wait for next week.”HOW WOULD YOU RATE THE SPRINGBOK PERFORMANCE?
