What the Boks get up to in Auckland
RUGBY CHAMPIONSHIP SPOTLIGHT: South Africa resumed their training in Auckland on Wednesday, after a short break, as they build up to next week’s showdown with Argentina.
The two teams will meet in Salta on Saturday, August 10, in the third and final round of the truncated Rugby Championship.
Following a well-deserved break from training and some team-building exercises after the thrilling 16-all draw with the All Blacks in Wellington, the Springbok squad got back into their training regime on Wednesday.
The Springboks are currently leading the Rugby Championship standings – on seven points after two matches – with a one-point advantage over defending champions New Zealand.
They can secure the trophy with a bonus-point victory over Argentina in Salta.
In the earlier match next Saturday, Australia host New Zealand in Perth in their final encounter match of the competition.
We look at what the Springboks got up to since their draw with the All Black this past weekend …
