The side has displayed a marked improvement in the last year under coach Rassie Erasmus, a far cry from the horrors of 2016 and 2017, when they racked up records for all the wrong reasons.

SALTA - Consistency remains key for improving South Africa as they revel in a first Rugby Championship title in a decade, a significant psychological boost a little over a month out from the World Cup in Japan.

“I think for us the most important thing was to work on our consistency,” captain Duane Vermeulen said after the win in Salta. The mood of many South Africans revolves around the success, or lack thereof, of the Boks and this Rugby Championship win will lift the optimism going into the global showpiece tournament in Japan.“The victory is a great thing for our country because we know that if the Springboks do well then everyone is happy in South Africa,” Vermeulen added.
