SYDNEY : Springboks coach Jacques Nienaber was delighted with the turnaround from last week's loss to Australia as an experimental side ran in four tries to one to beat the Wallabies in the Rugby Championship on Saturday.
"Last week we created a couple of opportunities and didn't take them, I thought that was better tonight," he told reporters. Nienaber had made eight changes to his side, several forced by injury, handing teenage winger Canan Moodie his debut and moving fullback Damian Willemse up into the line at flyhalf.
"Whilst trying to win the Rugby Championship we also need to get some answers on some positions going into the World Cup. The thing you sacrifice is continuity but the nice thing tonight is the team never lost belief."
