Hostile Pumas test the perfect preparation for All Blacks, says Springbok back Canan Moodie
Springbok utility back Canan Moodie says it’s now “full focus on the All Blacks” in Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry series after the world champions ground out a gritty 17-10 victory over Argentina over the weekend.
All Blacks-bound Springbok back Canan Moodie emphasized the importance of securing a crucial 17-10 victory over Argentina in a grueling Rugby Championship Test in Buenos Aires. While Argentina, featuring four debutants, managed to push the Boks all the way with an error-strewn performance, the key players gained valuable match practice.
Moodie highlighted the necessity of getting 80 minutes of playtime for the injured players, stating that it was instrumental in the team's chances for the upcoming All Blacks clash. The hostile atmosphere in Buenos Aires initially rattled some of the young Boks, but they persevered and demonstrated character throughout the match.
Moodie believes that this experience will prove invaluable when the Boks face their greatest rivals in the Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry series.
