Springboks vow to rectify mistakes
Cape Times
|August 19, 2025
THE Springboks are aware of their mistakes and determined to rectify them as quick as possible in the second Test against the Wallabies on Saturday in Cape Town.
While they've identified key areas like the breakdown, defence and discipline where they must be better, they will have to do it without influential leader Siya Kolisi and fellow loose forward Pieter-Steph du Toit.
The backrowers picked up injuries in the first Test at Ellis Park, one the Boks lost 38-22, and their grunt will be missed as the South Africans look to turn around their poor start to the Rugby Championship.
Wingers Kurt-Lee Arendse and Edwill van der Merwe will also miss the Test with injuries.
Kolisi looks set to be out for at least four weeks, while Du Toit misses the match through concussion. Arendse picked up a knee niggle and Van der Merwe injured his ankle.
Good news for the world champs is that backs Damian de Allende and Cheslin Kolbe will be in action on Saturday at the DHL Stadium.
Springbok head coach Rassie Erasmus confirmed Jesse Kriel will lead the team in the absence of Kolisi.
