Ross Roche
FAR FROM PERFECT TEST

Bok coaching staff very aware that they have plenty to work on to emerge with a 2-0 series win.

Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus said the monkey wasn't quite off their back despite the current Bok player and coaching group finally breaking their duck with a first win over Ireland since coming together in 2018.

The hosts got their Incoming Series off to a great start with a hard fought 27-20 win over Ireland at Loftus on Saturday evening, but it was a game of close margins and with a few calls going their way they were able to emerge with the victory.

Heading into the second Test in Durban this coming Saturday the Boks will have plenty to build on and work on if they want to clinch a clean sweep and walk away with a 2-0 series win.
