No big changes needed, says Steyn

South Africa fly-half Morne Steyn has rubbished suggestions the Springboks need to change their gameplan for the second Tri Nations Test against New Zealand.

The world champions suffered a 32-12 defeat last Saturday at Eden Park but Steyn believes simply improving on the “small things” will be enough to see them reverse that setback in Wellington.

“I think the whole team is ready for this week. We must take another step from last week. It wasn’t the best week we wanted,” said Steyn.

“The whole Springbok set up and the way we play...there is nothing to be changed now that we lost.

“I think it is just the small things we have to do 100% and concentrate on the kicks to be more specific and on target and hopefully we will go better.

“We played the same sort of rugby and won the Tri Nations last year so we don’t want to change the whole gameplan if we lose one game.

“We are still going to stick to our kicking game but we want to give the guys outside a little bit more.”
