The Springboks will be seeking a big improvement in these four areas when they clash with Argentina in Mbombela.
The Boks have won four out of five matches to far, but haven't had things go all their own way this campaign.
With four wins from five matches in this year’s Rugby Championship, the Springboks are poised to win the title in Mbombela on Saturday when they take on Argentina in the final game of the 2024 edition of the competition., in Santiago last Saturday, so they’ll be keen to make up for that setback with a solid showing in game six.
By contrast, seven yellow cards have been handed out to Bok players in the Championship so far. New Zealand have received six yellow cards and Australia three.The Boks have made life difficult for themselves having to regularly play with 14 men. Just last week it was Kurt-Lee Arendse who got binned in the 17th minute, which sparked Argentina into life.The Boks have for so long been so accurate in their lineout play, but this season they have been found wanting on a number of occasions.
Against the All Blacks in Joburg they let in four tries, but in Cape Town a week later against the same team they didn’t concede a try at all. Then last week in Argentina they let in four tries in a 20-minute spell in the first half to give up all the good work of their fast and strong start.
