DURBAN DECIDER: Boks must be accurate on all counts in Rugby Champs decider against Pumas

One thing the Springbok players didn’t bank on at the start of the Rugby Championship campaign was a maths lesson as part of their warm-up for the finale against Argentina at Kings Park.

They will know if they need a log bonus point and also by how many points they will need to win by, to secure the title. They will have to keep track of the maths while in the heat of battle because they are likely to need a large winning margin. Bok skipper Siya Kolisi won’t want to emulate what Shaun Pollock did in the 2003 Cricket World Cup when he miscalculated the precise score the Proteas needed to advance. The image of Pollock staring blankly ahead with a sad, limp piece of paper jotted with Duckworth-Lewis calculations and permutations clutched in his hand, still hurts.
