Springboks back at it in Auckland

The Springboks resumed their preparations in Auckland on Wednesday morning for their crunch match against Argentina next weekend.

The two teams will meet in Salta on Saturday, 10 August, in the third and final round of the shortened Rugby Championship.

The Springboks are currently leading the Rugby Championship standings after two matches, with a one-point advantage over defending champions New Zealand, and they can secure the trophy with a bonus-point victory in Salta.

In the earlier match on Saturday, Australia host New Zealand in Perth in their final match of the competition.

Following a well-deserved break from training and some team-building exercises after the thrilling 16-16 draw with the All Blacks in Wellington, the Springbok squad got back into their training regime on Wednesday morning.

Marvin Orie and André Esterhuizen slotted in seamlessly with their Bok colleagues on the training pitch after the pair arrived late on Monday evening (NZ time).

Aled Walters, the Springboks’ head of athletic performance, took the players through the usual thorough warm-up drills before the squad proceeded with an hour-long field session under the watchful eye of coach Rassie Erasmus and the Springbok assistant coaches.

After the lively team session, the players were split into forwards and backs for more unit sessions. The big men worked on their scrumming and maul drills, followed by some lineout work.

The #Springbok backs clocked a good shift today.
