Scrumhalf Faf de Klerk believes South Africa must return to the style of play that won them the 2019 Rugby World Cup if they are to defeat New Zealand in their Rugby Championship clash on Saturday, saying the desire to be more expansive has not worked.
Certainly in the second of those defeats, by 30-17 in Brisbane on Saturday, they moved away from their tactical kicking game, but committed an unusually high number of errors and looked flustered at times. "That is up to us, as game-drivers, to make sure we play in the right areas on the field, to not have a go when it is not really on. We know as a group we need to be better; we need to step up our game a lot going into this test and rectify those errors."
"What we have seen from New Zealand is that they are very dangerous when you make mistakes. Their counter-attack is one of their big scoring methods," De Klerk said.
