“We Are Still Learning To Be World Champions” – Nkosi

 

Sbu Nkosi, who ran out at right wing for the Boks in their 24-26 defeat against Australia in the past weekend, said improving the execution of their game plan would be one of the key factors as they look to bounce back strongly in the next meeting between the sides on Saturday, 18 September, at the Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane.

“I’d say it (the defeat) boiled it down to execution,” said Nkosi.

“I don’t think we have to go back to the drawing board and change anything.

“We are still learning to be world champions and we are trying to grow and to be better at that. Our plan has given us great success, so I think we just need to execute it better.”

The talented wing adopted a firm stance to the Boks’ style of play when being quizzed about the possibility of showing more adaptability and said: “It’s hard to say if plan A didn’t work.

“We scored three tries to one, so it was our discipline that let us down because they kicked 23 points off the tee.

“Mauling is an attacking set-piece and we scored three tries from that.”
