‘Full focus now on the All Blacks,’ says Moodie as Boks move on to next challenge
The world champions will now fully focus on Rugby's Greatest Rivalry, which gets going next weekend with the first Test at Ellis Park.
Utility back Canan Moodie expressed satisfaction with the Springboks' narrow victory over Argentina in their recent one-off Test match, stating it set the right tone for facing their biggest rivals, the All Blacks. Despite an under-strength Argentina, the Boks managed a 17-10 win, which was crucial for maintaining their momentum ahead of the first Test at Ellis Park.
Canan Moodie, who returned from injury, highlighted the importance of the players regaining match fitness. He emphasized the team's focus shifting to the All Blacks series, noting that the Boks will prepare meticulously for the upcoming series, including matches against the Stormers and Sharks. Canan Moodie also acknowledged the pressure the Boks faced against Argentina and the character it took to secure the win, a lesson they can apply in the RGR series.
The All Blacks face the Sharks in Durban on Tuesday, the Bulls in Pretoria on Saturday, and the Springboks in Johannesburg next Saturday before facing the Lions and three more Tests against the Springboks.
