The coach Allister Coetzee said the heavy 57-0 defeat to the All Blacks in Albany is something of the past, it’s time to move on.

The defeat was the team's first of 2017 after three wins over France, back-to-back wins over Argentina and a 23-23 draw to the Wallabies in Perth.

It is also the first Test in the City of Roses since 4 September 2010 when Drew Mitchell scored a 71st minute try for a 41-39 win over the Springboks.

The team doctor, Konrad von Hagen, started by giving a medicial update on the players not in the squad, as well as the few bumps and bruises within the squad.

The Boks received a further boost with the Bath flanker, Francois Louw, linking up with the team in Bloemfontein on Monday morning, after the rest of the squad assembled on Sunday.

Coetzee conceded that the team were bleeding after their poor performance against the All Blacks in Albany, and said that the public are correct in feeling let down, because they let themselves down as well.

Coetzee said this week is all about correcting the mistakes and restoring the team's pride.

Saturday's Test at the Toyota Stadium kicks off at 17:00.
