Jacques Nienaber’s side have demonstrated their strength and dominance up front with a suffocating display in their opener against Scotland last weekend and even though we’ve seen glimpses of excellence from the backs, Kempson feels Nienaber and his backline lieutenant Mzwandile Stick are yet to unleash their attacking tactics.“From an attacking perspective, there’s still more to come. And, given that, it’ll make the Boks even more dangerous,” said Kempson when speaking to“I don’t think we have seen the full array of skills from the Bok backline … there’s a little bit that they have managed to hold back.
“Yes, everyone expects the Boks to strangle teams with their forwards and the driving mauls, keeping the opposition on the back foot, but no one is really seeing the great athletes that are in the backline.
