But we just went off the script in the second half.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey scored three easy tries early on, and it wasn\u2019t from a good set piece. They were just more active and ready, and they pounced ahead.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey just seemed more prepared than we were, and they used every opportunity they got, whereas we didn\u2019t. Everyone just started going off on their plan instead of sticking to the plan we had as a team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Asked what they had to do to turn things around when the teams meet at the DHL Stadium next week, before lining up against New Zealand in Auckland and Wellington, and Argentina in Durban and London respectively, Nche said: \u201cFor me personally, it means more hard work, more preparation, and to be better prepared. To do whatever you did last week, and do more of it. The only thing we can do is to execute better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Springboks made the trip from Johannesburg to Cape Town on Sunday and will begin their on-field preparations on Monday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Wallabies outscored the Boks six tries to three, overturning a 22-0 lead by the hosts after 20&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":74803,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[567],"tags":[64,63,760,85],"class_list":["post-74802","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-rugby","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-rugby","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74802","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=74802"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74802\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/74803"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=74802"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=74802"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=74802"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
