The Springboks will launch the 2024 edition of the southern hemisphere series against the Wallabies on successive Saturdays in Brisbane and Perth, respectively, and Erasmus was pleased with the building blocks they put in place during the Incoming Series and the last two days in Johannesburg where they had a two-day training camp before departing for Australia.
“We’ll arrive in Australia on Thursday and have training sessions on Friday and Saturday, so we’ll get straight into the swing of things as soon as possible to acclimatise to the conditions and environment and hit the ground running in the hope of getting off the tour to a good start.”Commenting on what he expected from the Wallabies, Erasmus said: “They are well coached team, and they have a new coach in Joe Schmidt, so they are a proper team.
Erasmus admitted that while there was pressure on the team do turn things around in Australia, they relished the challenge.
