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.5 talking points | SA v NZ: Springbok pack destroyed All Blacks, history-making MarxThe Boks thumped the All Blacks 35-7 at Twickenham to record their biggest-ever win over their old rivals.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."We played for one another, and it was a fantastic result for us."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."Vermeulen, though, warned that there were still things to work on ahead of the World Cup."We made mistakes (against New Zealand) and there were a couple of things that didn't go our way - discipline was one of them," he said."We got a yellow card and penalties can make you lose a game, so we have to sharpen up on that."I think there's still a lot in the tank.
We've got to prepare well for our first game against Scotland. All the focus is on Scotland from this moment on."
