The Springboks reminded the rugby world exactly why they are the world champions as they thumped the Wallabies 33-7 to kick off their Rugby Championship campaign in emphatic fashion.
The Wallabies' first Test in the 2024 Rugby Championship against the Rugby World Cup Champion Springboks this Saturday in Brisbane is a sell-out.
Springbok scrumhalf Cobus Reinach gave his new halfback partner Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu some peace of mind ahead of what will probably mark the biggest match of the young pivot's career.
Springboks RG Snyman and Grant Williams shared their thoughts on Saturday's Rugby Championship opener, while assistant coach Daan Human is looking forward to the scrum battle.
The Springboks landed in Australia on Thursday in high spirits following an overnight flight from Johannesburg and will have the rest of the day off to recover from the long journey before resuming their on-field preparations on Friday.
The Wallabies coaching staff have confirmed a 36-player squad for the upcoming Rugby Championship Tests against South Africa in Brisbane and Perth.
