Some game-changing boxes still left for coach Rassie to tick

The Springboks take on Scotland, England and Wales over the next three weekends in Edinburgh, London and Cardiff respectively.

While the world champions go into the Tests on the back of five wins out of six matches in the Rugby Championship, there will be three key areas coach Rassie Erasmus will want to see an improvement in on the UK tour.

Here are the boxes the Boks will want to tick this month, according to the Citizen's Head of Sport Jacques van der Westhuyzen.

Set-piece dominance

The Springboks gave away a few penalties at scrum-time in the Rugby Championship and finished the competition as the fourth-best scrumming unit, winning 79% of their scrums. New Zealand were first with 91%, followed by Australia and Argentina, who both succeeded with 87% of their scrums.
