Springbok coach Jacques Nienaber urged his side to even greater heights after the Rugby World Cup holders impressed in a 52-16 warm-up win over Wales in Cardiff on Saturday.
Springbok coach Jacques Nienaber may have come across as flippant when addressing Manie Libbok's goal-kicking issues in his past two starting Test matches, but what can't be faulted is the faith he retains in the budding pivot.
Springbok captain Siya Kolisi relished his return to Test match rugby, even if it was for 40 minutes, in the 52-16 thrashing of Wales in Cardiff on Saturday.
As a pragmatist and realist, Jacques Nienaber will always find "problems" to fix in the Springboks' quest to defend their Rugby World Cup title, but Manie Libbok's goal-kicking definitely isn't one ... for now.
If - and the if here is a substantial one - there was any cynicism about Siya Kolisi's much-publicised return to the Springbok team perhaps being a tad overhyped even before he made it onto the field again, it evaporated within 40 minutes.
Anyone hoping for some Springbok insights into the ongoing Owen Farrell red card drama would've been left disappointed as the world champions played back any questioning on the matter with a proverbial straight bat.
