Former New Zealand coach Steve Hansen has taken the blame for his charges’ failure at the 2019 Rugby World Cup.
The Springboks will go into the Rugby World Cup in France as one of the favourites to claim their fourth global title and join New Zealand as the only back-to-back winners.
New Zealand coach Steve Hansen was a happy man after talisman Scott Barrett was cleared of any further sanction following his red card against South Africa.
The Springboks sounded a major warning to their World Cup rivals in France with an emphatic 35-7 victory over the All Blacks in front of a jam-packed Twickenham Stadium.
It doesn't get much bigger than a match against the All Blacks at a sold-out Twickenham, and Springbok captain Siya Kolisi has assured fans they will be holding nothing back come Friday.
New Zealand head coach Ian Foster has named an experienced XV to face the World Champion Springboks on Friday in London at Twickenham.
