The Springboks wont have too many surprises for the Irish when they meet in their opening Incoming Series clash at Loftus on Saturday afternoon kick-off 5pm, but will be adding a few new things to their system in the match.
Assistant coach Mzwandile Stick said that although they were instituting new things, they would stick largely to the DNA that has been working for them over the years, while trying not to be too predictable.
With two new coaches in their setup they will bring new ideas to the table, but the Boks will not stray too far from what continues to work.
Test match rugby is very physical. Thats something that we as South Africans enjoy and dont shy away from. There are certain things that we dont want to negotiate in our system and how we play the game, explained Stick.
Especially when you look at the set pieces which is one of our biggest strengths and is part of DNA. I dont think we will ever move away from that because it gives us a good foundation, even if we want to evolve and try something new.
