Wallabies have Springbok coach’s full attention

WHILE the Springboks’ match against the All Blacks at Eden Park is seen as the biggest clash of this year’s Rugby Championship, coach Rassie Erasmus’ sights are firmly set on their upcoming assignment against the Wallabies.

The Springboks have a chance to make history against the All Blacks in Auckland on September 6. The New Zealanders haven't lost at the famous ground since that remarkable Test against the French in 1994, which featured “the try from the end of the world” Many pundits believe that this bunch of Springboks could be the ones to do the business at Eden Park.

However, the chance to re-rewrite the history books is far from Erasmus’ mind. Instead, it’s the Wallabies who occupy his thoughts if yesterday's press conference and his activity on the social media site ‘X’ is anything to go by.

The Wallabies’ ‘X’ page is currently the only account that the Bok coach is following, while he also revealed that he picked Australia to beat the British and Irish Lions in the second Test in Melbourne this past weekend.

However, the Wallabies lost that Test and ultimately the series after the touring side scored a late try to win at a packed Melbourne Cricket Ground.
