'It was not a performance that was worthy enough for a Springbok jersey. 'We are sorry, that's all we can say,' said Nienaber after Saturday's 30-17 defeat in the Rugby Championship fourth-round contest. The world champions were outplayed 'in every department' by a resurgent Australia side in Brisbane and Nienaber apologised after what he called the Springboks' worst performance since losing 32-19 to Argentina in 2018. BRISBANE - South Africa coach Jacques Nienaber admitted he was worried about the 'massive challenge' of facing the All Blacks next weekend after a 'very poor' Springboks suffered back-to-back Test defeats against the Wallabies.
