Handr Pollard and Cheslin Kolbe have given insights into the team culture and inner workings of the Springboks as they prepare to take on Ireland in their crunch clash at Loftus on Saturday.
Pollard and Kolbe, who have been named in the starting line-up for the first of two Tests against the Irish, said players treat each other equally and there are no egos that could prove disruptive in a team environment.
They spoke about the way coach Rassie Erasmus and his technical and management team have created a conducive environment for everyone to feel free and express themselves on and off the field.
There are no egos though the current squad has 20 players who have won the Rugby World Cup.
