JOHANNESBURG – Springboks are looking to bounce back against New Zealand after suffering a 33-16 defeat in the first Test in Johannesburg. Coach Rassie Erasmus says the team has been in difficult situations before and must fight their way out of this one.

Erasmus has brought back Handre Pollard at flyhalf, while captain Siya Kolisi could return if he passes training. The coach has also taken responsibility for the first Test loss and says the breakdown battle will be crucial in Saturday’s second Test in Cape Town.
