The Springboks will be better prepared than they have been in previous years when they take on Australia in their opening two games of the Rugby Championship Down Under next month.
The Boks have had a poor record against the Wallabies in Australia in recent times, and broke an eight-year losing streak in the country in their second game against them during the 2022 Rugby Championship, coming out on top 24-8 in Sydney.
Before that their last win in Australia was way back in 2013, with them then going on to lose seven and draw one of their next eight games in the country.
It is a record that the Boks are not pleased with and with them having been favourites on many of those occasions, they will be eager to put things right.
Bok coach Rassie Erasmus admitted that they have not been at their best on tours in Australia, but that they would not be making any excuses this time around.
