Boks target breakdown and aerial battle to ground Brave Blossoms
The Star
|October 31, 2025
THE Springboks have identified the aerial battle and breakdown as the two key areas they must dominate against Japan tomorrow to get their November Tests off to a strong start.
South Africa will face the Brave Blossoms at Wembley Stadium in the first of five year-end matches, which include clashes against France, Italy, Ireland, and Wales to wrap up their 2025 rugby season.
According to seasoned Bok centre and Japan-based Jesse Kriel, the squad is amped to start their tour with a convincing performance. For many of them, it’s also an exciting clash against familiar faces from the Japanese club rugby scene.
The two sides last met in the quarterfinals of the 2019 Rugby World Cup in Tokyo and in a warm-up match before the tournament.
