Boks expect big Aussie backlash

Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus and captain Siya Kolisi are already preparing for a big response from the Wallabies when the two sides clash in the second Rugby Championship encounter in Perth this coming weekend.

It was an emphatic start to the competition for the Boks, a bonus point 33-7 win in the opening game in Brisbane on Saturday, just their second win in 13 attempts in the city, to get their campaign off to a flyer.

But Erasmus and Kolisi are both well aware of the struggles they have endured in Australia over the years and they are expecting the hosts to come back firing in the second game.

Erasmus however hinted that they may make a few changes, to give players a run, while also making sure they pick up a second win before heading off from Down Under.
