THE Springboks will keep their feet on the ground and look to sharpen up their game as they head into the final two Rugby Championship Tests against Australia in two weeks.

After beating New Zealand 43-10 in Wellington on Saturday, the world champions revived their campaign, with their focus now shifting to the unpredictable Argentinians, whom they'll face in Durban and at Twickenham.

South Africa's two-try hero in Wellington, Cheslin Kolbe, praised the efforts of his teammates as they took down the All Blacks with a fairly untested backline, scoring six tries on their way to the emphatic win.

Kolbe opened the scoring with an interception, sprinting about 70 metres to cross untouched, while his second came from brilliant interplay between the backs and forwards off a dominant scrum. He still had to show some nifty footwork to beat New Zealand winger Leroy Carter and dive over the try line in the corner.

Though forced off the field in the second half due to injury, the double World Cup winner was pleased with how the game unfolded.
