SPRINGBOK assistant coach Jerry Flannery said the Springboks are expecting Japan to be champing at the bit when the sides meet at Wembley on Saturday in London, in the opening match of the South Africans' five-week November tour.

The Bok defence coach added that the main focus area for the team after the Rugby Championship will be to control their play better.

Next week, the Springboks play France in Paris, followed by Italy in Turin (November 15), Ireland in Dublin (November 22), and Wales in Cardiff (November 29).

Japan are coming off a narrow 19-15 defeat to the Wallabies in Tokyo, and Flannery is wary of the threat posed by the men from the Land of the Rising Sun.
