While the Springboks preparations for this coming weekend’s 3rd and final test match against England remain on track Coach Rassie Erasmus has paid homage to the work put in by his predecessors and the ground work they have laid for the team.


The Springboks 2018 season stands at 2 wins from 3 matches including a series win over England with 1 test to come in Cape Town.

Erasmus who took over as Bok coach from Alistair Coetzee commended the work of Coetzee's regime saying that it most definitely had some positive outcomes.

The new coach made reference to a series of coaching indaba's that Coetzee instituted during his time as head coach.

The indaba's involved coaches across the country and on all levels of the sport to get on the same page with regards to a more unified coaching structure in the country.

"Alistair and the guys who last year started that indaba, I have no doubt that we are getting players more equipped to attack better."

"The franchise are attacking really well, and the guys that are playing in the PRO14 so without a doubt the skill level on attack is really great," Erasmus said.

The Springboks face England on Saturday in the 3rd and final test to be played at Newlands in Cape Town.
