The Boks enter the week as 32-12 winners overs the Pumas during last week’s 1st Test at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium.

While the Boks had a resounding win over the weekend, they do believe that they can improve.

The Springbok assistant coach, Deon Davids, emphasised that it’s important to set their own standards.

“The plan the players made for the last game was correct, but our execution was not always as effective as we would have liked it to be.

“That being said, the players found solutions throughout the game and that assisted us in reacting better.

“Looking forward, we need to set our standards and see what we can do better as individuals, and we have to ensure that we implement that at training so that it filters onto the playing field.

“So, for us it is about driving standards and getting better in our execution.”

The Springbok coach, Jacques Nienaber, will name his team for the 2nd Test on Tuesday. 

At this stage, it is unclear whether or not he will be making use of a similar team that won last, or if he will revert back to the core of players that won the British & Irish Lions series 2-1.

Saturday’s second Test in the Friendly City kicks off at 18:00.
