Bok prop Venter still needs to 'pinch myself'

THE Springboks know the job is far from finished, and their emphatic 67-30 demolition of Argentina in Durban was a statement of intent — but the Rugby Championship title is not yet secured.

One last hurdle awaits at Twickenham, where South Africa will look to put the finishing touches on their campaign and retain the crown. The Boks face Los Pumas in the second and final Test of the tournament in London this Saturday, and a victory should be enough to ensure the trophy remains with the world champions.

They currently top the Championship standings on 15 points, with New Zealand a point behind in second. Australia (11) is third, while Los Pumas (9) find themselves in last place. The All Blacks and Wallabies face each other in Perth on Saturday morning, and after this game, the Boks will know exactly what they must do to be crowned winners.
