The visitors won last weekend’s clash by 34-26, but Babalwa Latsha, who will lead the Bok Women again, said too many chefs spoiled the broth for the home side on that occasion.

“This time we are going to keep it simple and rather focus on doing small things right first – we need to be physical, but we also need to be clever and productive when we have possession.” She is the most capped prop in the Springbok Women’s game.

This is the last chance the Springboks have to test their structures ahead of the World Cup later this month.

“We know our set piece is working well and it showed last weekend, we have good commitment when under pressure, and we do play with guts, but something was still amiss.

‘They are such a skilful team’

“We worked hard this week to get the nuances in our game in place, and I think we are ready to deliver that final showing that will leave us all ready for the biggest tournament of our lives,” she said.

The mindset of the Bok Women towards the perfect game and their opponents’ class will lead to another humdinger.

“They are such a skilful team and a joy to watch when you are on the sidelines,” she said.

“I think we proved we can play a bit as well last weekend, and what a game that was. I suspect we are going to have more of the same again. It will be a match of high intensity, huge physicality, and amazing action.

This afternoon’s match kicks off at 17:00.
