The South Africans will be up against an equally fired-up England side who trounced Australia 32-15 on Saturday and Bok coach Jacques Nienaber said they must be thoroughly prepared. “A guy like Herschel Jantjies has already won the World Cup but he hasn’t played much. Although he is an established player, he needs to gain more experience so that he is able to operate in these conditions like this at Murrayfield.”
“We are fortunate to have two quality front rows, who work in tandem and the guys that started laid the foundation, which the replacements built on nicely when they took the field,” said Nienaber. Bok captain Siya Kolisi added that converting their opportunities into points was one of the themes in the camp during the build-up week, and lauded his teammates for delivering on this.
