Springbok scrum coach Daan Human says the disruption caused this week by several players returning home is nothing new for the national team.
Former Springboks coach Jacques Nienaber believes Rassie Erasmus' men have learnt to embrace their status as world champions, rather than clinging to the underdog tag.
Rassie Erasmus says the Springboks will take a significantly reduced squad to Wales for the final match of their November tour, with "only 24 or 25 players" set to be available.
Rassie Erasmus conceded the Springboks weren't at their best in the 24-13 win over Ireland but was a happy man after coming away with a victory in Dublin for the first time since 2012.
Springbok coach Jacques Nienaber says that Rassie Erasmus has a "super power" when it comes to seeing potential in people.
Springbok head coach Rassie Erasmus has called up experienced hooker Bongi Mbonambi and loosehead prop Ntuthuko Mchunu to strengthen his front-row department ahead of next weekend's Test against Ireland.
