Boks hungry for more as Reinach and Co eye November

THE Springboks have returned home from London with the Rugby Championship trophy still overflowing with suitable refreshments, but Player of the Match in the finale against Argentina, Cobus Reinach, says one eye is already on the looming end-of-year tour.

The Springboks beat the Pumas 29-27 at Twickenham to nail their first-ever defence of the Championship. In November, they will face Japan, France, Italy, Ireland, and Wales on a five-match tour to Europe.

Reinach says the Boks are aiming for greater continuity.

"You could see in the tournament how we'd lose one, win one, lose again, and then win a match," said Reinach, who scored two tries against the Pumas.

"Rugby is a strange game. But we know we have a lot of work to do before the year-end tour, and we are all ready and excited to do it. It's going to be tough, but we're ready to put in the work."
