BOK WAKE-UP CALL

BE BETTER: WORLD CHAMPS MUST STEP UP THEIR GAME

- Ross Roche

The Springboks will need to put in an improved performance when they take on a wounded England at Twickenham on Saturday, after their imperfect 32-15 win over Scotland at Murrayfield this past weekend.

The Boks were given a scare by the Scots, who shaded play in a number of departments, while it was also an error-strewn game from both teams.

The lineouts, breakdown and handling errors should be key focus points for the Boks, after they lost possession three times on their own throw, were dominated at the rucks when Scotland piled in, and knocked on 14 times during the course of the 80 minutes.
