Boks Face A Challenge

Rugby Champs: Erasmus Knows Wallabies Will Not Be A Pushover

- Jacques van der Westhuyzen

The Springboks are back in training after a week's break following their last Test, against Georgia in Gqeberha, and if they didn't know it already, they know now they're in for one big challenge if they're going to defend the Rugby Championship title they won last year.

The competition kicks off in just over two weeks' time, with the Boks first up in South Africa against Australia. They'll face each other in two matches on home soil before the Boks turn their attention to the All Blacks and later on, Argentina.

But while the reigning world champions will back themselves to win against the Wallabies in Joburg and Cape Town on 16 and 23 August respectively, coach Rassie Erasmus is sure to point out just what a challenge Joe Schmidt's Wallabies will be.
