Boks vs Wallabies at Loftus

Highlights from every Tri-Nations and Rugby Championship match between the Springboks and Wallabies at Loftus.

Boks seek backline boost

The selection of Pat Lambie and Morné Steyn in the Springboks’ starting lineup highlights a desperate need for experience and leadership in the backline, writes CRAIG LEWIS in Johannesburg.

Pat ‘oozing confidence’

Pat Lambie has been ‘oozing confidence’ at training and his selection at fullback is not a gamble, according to Allister Coetzee. CRAIG LEWIS reports in Johannesburg.

Allister Coetzee says the decision to start Rudy Paige and Morné Steyn at halfback against the Wallabies was precipitated by their familiarity with the Loftus conditions and the way the Boks want to play, writes CRAIG LEWIS in Johannesburg.

Boks must kick into gear

The Springboks’ kick execution has to be vastly improved if they hope to end a three-match losing streak in this Saturday’s Test against the Wallabies at Loftus, writes CRAIG LEWIS in Johannesburg.
