Springboks to take Ellis Park lessons into Wallabies clash – Mzwandile Stick
The Springboks won't be taking anything for granted when they take on the Wallabies in Perth on Sunday.
Assistant coach Mzwandile Stick says the Springboks will carry forward the lessons learned from their 2019 defeat to the Wallabies at Ellis Park into their upcoming one-off Test at the Optus Stadium in Perth. Despite being heavy favorites last year, South Africa lost the match after a strong start. They bounced back with a 30-22 victory in Cape Town and are now facing a formidable Wallaby team, despite being underdogs once again.
Stick emphasizes that the Boks must stay focused on their strengths and continue improving. The Wallabies have shown resilience, with three wins in their last five games, and have a new coaching staff led by Les Kiss. Stick highlights the potency of the Wallaby backline and wing options, urging the Boks to stay disciplined and maintain their defensive and kicking game strengths.
