South Africa were deeply disappointed with last weekend’s shock 38-22 Rugby Championship loss to Australia, but Saturday brings a fresh opportunity to put in a performance that goes some way towards making up for that defeat, captain Jesse Kriel said.

The Springboks gave up a 22-point lead at Ellis Park, a ground where they had not lost to Australia in 62 years, in a bewildering second-half display that has resulted in much soul-searching this week and nine changes to their starting team in Cape Town.

"We know what we did not get right last week, we have rectified that as a team and we were eager to get back on the training field on Monday," Kriel told reporters on Friday.
