The Springboks didn’t make nearly enough use of their star-studded backline against Ireland last weekend but Johan Goosen is hopeful that it can be very different when the South African ‘A’ side face Munster this Thursday.

The tourists have named 14 players with Test experience in their matchday 23 and the extent of the task ahead for the province is highlighted by the fact that seven of them start in the pack with two more capped back rows to call off the bench.
