The Springboks are a team in development, and they will continue their evolution when they take on Ireland in the second Test of the Incoming Series at Kings Park in Durban on Saturday.
With a new attack coach in Tony Brown and a new defence coach in Jerry Flannery, as well as former top referee Jaco Peyper on board as their discipline and laws advisor, the Boks are adding to their already settled World Cup winning coaching team.
In last weeks win over Ireland at Loftus , the Boks were already showing off some of their new attacking flair brought in by Brown, and it is only a matter of time before more changes are evident in their game.
From our side we are definitely a team that is trying new things, explained Springbok head coach Rassie Erasmus at the team announcement earlier this week.
This is a good time to do it. It was what we were unable to do in 2020, at a similar stage of that World Cup cycle, because of Covid. It is not just adaptations to the attack that we are working on, but defence as well.
