The team is also a victim in the Jantjies-Simjee story and the way they have chosen to deal with it, is to pretend it’s business as usual. It’s not.
“I’ve said before that there’s a lot of pressure any national team has to deal with. There are two types. One is external pressure. Can we control that? No. There’s internal pressure, the type where we demand certain standards from each other. It’s about expectations. That’s the pressure we can control,” he said.
“This is a game they will definitely target. If we look at their team selection, we are under no illusion that we will encounter a fired-up, physical Argentinian side that knocked off Australia and New Zealand,” Nienaber said. “Argentina are a passionate country, they are a proud team and have lots of struggles without a domestic league and the challenges of a lot of players overseas. They are a tough team, hard to break down and passionate to perform in front of their home fans.
“Sometimes you’re confronted with things like injuries, like us losing Handre Pollard or what happened in the right wing position,” Nienaber said. “But it allows you to test your depth too. You get some experience in your squad.
