The Boks go into this must-win match with their fate not entirely in their own hands as they rely heavily on Australia to either beat or keep up with New Zealand on the scoreboard as points difference could decide the title. “I don’t think there is a rugby team that has ever played the perfect game. We certainly had a good first half against Argentina last weekend in Buenos Aires but there are always small details you can improve on,” De Jager said.

“We strive every week to get better at those small details, especially looking at the bigger picture, which is the Rugby World Cup next year in France. We want to be a more rounded team going into that tournament, so there is always stuff we try to improve on.”“They have always had a good line-out because they have good jumpers and a good line-out coach. We expect that to be a big challenge for us.

“On the side of the scrum, obviously it is a big part of our game and a big way we want to put pressure on the opposition and build pressure throughout games. We have looked at what we picked last week and what we can improve on going forward this weekend and hopefully we can eliminate the mistakes on Saturday.”“They also have a chance to win the Rugby Championship if Australia beat New Zealand on Saturday morning.
