Eddie Jones: ‘Two areas where I noticed the Springboks were significantly different’

Eddie Jones has hailed two significant areas of improvement from the Springboks since he last coached against the South Africans.

Rassie Erasmus’ charges romped to a 61-7 victory over the Brave Blossoms at Wembley Stadium over the weekend; Jones’ first game against the Boks since his Wallabies outfit was beaten 43-12 at Loftus Versveld in 2023.

The experienced coach spoke glowingly about South Africa in the post-match, stating that the Boks’ aerial and kicking game was far superior to Japan’s, as his players weren’t used to those kinds of tactics, as they aren’t deployed in Japan Rugby League One.
