Boks Must 'Step It Up'

Rassie: Wallaby Tests a Good Dry Run Ahead of All Blacks Double

- Ross Roche

Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus called the two recent home Tests against Australia a "good dry run" for what they will be up against in their next two matches in the Rugby Championship, against the All Blacks in New Zealand, but also admitted it would be a big "step up" for his team.

This, after the Boks were walloped by Australia at Ellis Park in the opening match of the competition and having just got the better of the same opposition in Cape Town on Saturday.

But, the good news is the Rugby Championship is wide open following the wins at the weekend by the Springboks and Argentina.
