“Australia started very well in that first 20 minutes, and they managed to find their way back into the game and got some points. “So we can’t underestimate them. We know they’re going through a tough time as a team and we can relate because we’ve been there in the past and we’ve managed to turn things around. So I know that changing room want to turn things around, and you can’t ask for any better opposition than playing against the Springboks,” said Stick.A post shared by Springboks
