And they will have learnt that despite the illusion of the Springboks morphing into an all-court rugby team under the tutelage of New Zealand attack coach Tony Brown, their game is based on box kicks, scrums and mauls – probably in that order. Four times Springboks halfback Grant Williams launched box kicks from Georgia kick-offs or restarts in the first half, and the Springboks reclaimed three of them. In a first half won 22-10 by the Springboks, this is the mechanism they used to get into the game. A reclaim rate of 75 per cent is like gold for any rugby team. And as if to emphasise their importance, Williams’ miscue from his first box kick – the only box kick the Springboks did not win back – led to a Georgia try from a lineout drive a few phases later.
