Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus was immensely proud of a squad effort built by over 50 players during a fantastic season that closed with a powerful 45-12 win over Wales in Cardiff on Saturday night.
The Boks secured a clean sweep on their end-of-year tour to the UK, beating Scotland 32-15 and England 29-20, before cruising to victory over Wales in a game that could have seen an even more lopsided scoreline if they had taken their chances.
In all it closed out a season that saw them win 11 out of 13 games, which included drawing their Incoming Series against Ireland, and powering to the Rugby Championship title, while both their losses were one-point results that could have gone the other way.
