Rassie Erasmus says both the Springboks and Los Pumas are hungry for a win in the Rugby Championship next weekend.
Rassie Erasmus expects a stern test for the Springboks against Los Pumas next week, as the world champions depart for Argentina ready for a battle of epic proportions.
But Erasmus refused to write off the hosts, who beat New Zealand in their opening match of the tournament and thrashed Australia 67-27 last week to stay in the title race. The teams will meet again at the Mbombela Stadium in Nelspruit on Saturday, 28 September in the closing match of the tournament, where the winner of the Rugby Championship will be crowned.“It’s definitely hostile over there, but we don’t find them to be hostile in terms of fear, but rather passionate fans enjoying supporting their team,” said Erasmus.
The Bok coach was delighted to have two days with the team in Stellenbosch to get them into the right mindset for the challenge ahead and for the coaches to put the groundwork in place for the encounter.
