The Boks are over the moon after a record win over the All Blacks, but they've already turned their attention to Scotland.Vermeulen adds that there are still"one or two little things that we can tweak" ahead of the World Cup.Springbok No 8 Duane Vermeulen says Friday's record-breaking win over New Zealand has already been put on the backburner, with their focus now firmly on Scotland, who they face in their Rugby World Cup opener.

It was also New Zealand’s worst defeat in their history, eclipsing the 28-7 reverse to Australia in 1999. "We really wanted to lay a marker down going into the World Cup and we wanted to show each other what lies inside every single person," said Vermeulen."It was our biggest margin over New Zealand, so it was a good one and good preparation - but it's now just the start of the World Cup and hopefully we can go into it with a bit of confidence.""We made mistakes and there were a couple of things that didn't go our way - discipline was one of them," he said.
