Series win over the Lions will bring spice to Bok tour

Springbok coach Jacques Nienaber acknowledged his team's task against Wales, Scotland and England is made tougher by the fact that the players who were involved in that series may feel they have unfinished business against the Rugby World Cup holders.

“That is one thing we have to get used to as reigning World Champs and No 1 ranked team in the world. Teams are going to come for us. We are the team they want to test themselves against. The nature of the beast is teams will come for us regardless.” “I think they've got good game drivers like Ken Owens and Alun Wynn Jones who are well established and are British & Irish Lions.”

“If you look at Scotland, Price is well established, Finn Russell speaks for himself, as does Stuart Hogg. They also have Duhan . They have quality outside backs.England have a spine“Eddie has selected a slightly younger squad if you look at the spine with Cowan-Dickie , Maro Itoje, Youngs, Farrell, Jonny May on the one wing, in fact both wings over 50 Test caps,” said the Bok coach.
