The Springboks are gearing up for their next challenges after the intense All Blacks series, with a focus on resting key players and giving opportunities to others ahead of upcoming matches in Australia and the Nations Championship.

As the grueling series against the All Blacks in Baltimore nears its end, the Springboks are preparing to quickly shift their focus to a one-off Test against Australia in Perth on 27 September.

While some first-choice players will be rested for the Australia match, it presents a chance for others, such as Grant Williams, Franco Mostert, and Handre Pollard, to make their mark after dealing with injuries this season.

Looking ahead, the Springboks have a busy schedule, including matches against Italy, France, and Ireland as part of the Nations Championship. The team's goal is to secure a 3-1 series win over the All Blacks before focusing on the future challenges.

No. 8 Jasper Wiese highlighted the historic importance of potentially beating the All Blacks, emphasizing the significance for the current group to achieve a victory in this momentous series.
