Rugby: Springboks switch into full Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry mode in Johannesburg

# Rugby: The Springboks have stepped up preparations for their four-Test Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry series against New Zealand. Coach Rassie Erasmus says the squad has recovered well following last week’s 17-10 victory over Argentina. The travelling squad returned to South Africa on Monday and Tuesday, and spent much of the week recovering before resuming full training on Friday and Saturday. The series begins at Ellis Park on August 22, followed by Tests in Cape Town, Johannesburg and Baltimore in the US. Erasmus says the Boks are ready for the challenge and will fine-tune their preparations during the week.
