Esterhuizen urges Boks to cut out errors ahead of Pumas clash

SLEDGEHAMMER Springbok Andre Esterhuizen sizzled in Wellington last week, scoring the Boks’ final try in the 43-10 rout, but he says the side can be much better if they cut out the clumsiness.

Andre the Giant, as he is known across the rugby world, entered the fray early in Wellington from the bench after injuries to Aphelele Fassi and Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu, and delivered arguably his most commanding performance in the green and gold.

“Tt was special to be part of a game like that, but we can be so much better,” the centre said of the 43-10 win.

“There is still so much to work on. Yes, in the second half a lot went our way when we executed far better — we scored 36 unanswered points — but there were too many errors in the first half.
