SA, Australia and Argentina are tied on nine log points with table-topping New Zealand in pole position on 11 points. “It’s good to play in such tough competitions and consistently at such a high level of intensity. We need to get used to the feeling of playing in quarterfinals, semifinals and finals, especially since everything we do now is part of our build-up to the Rugby World Cup.
The Springbok management said Jantjies and team dietitian Zeenat Simjee were returning to SA to attend to personal reports and to eliminate any distractions to the team’s preparations for the Test against Argentina.“The last time we played, when we beat Australia in Sydney, we had Damian Willemse as our starting flyhalf and he played well there so we have no concerns and are happy with him there,” Davids said.
