According to the SA Rugby website, Stick said the side is fully prepared to take on the Wallabies while they are coming off a historic victory over Portugal.
Stick said:
"It's great to be in Australia, and it has certainly added to our excitement about the Tests against the Wallabies and the Castle Lager Rugby Championship as a whole. Playing against the likes of Australia, New Zealand, and Argentina will definitely be a different challenge to the teams we have faced so far this season, but we enjoy playing against these teams, and we are really looking forward to the competition."
Fans back the Boks
Local rugby fans praised the world champions on social media and backed the side to beat the Wallabies during their tour Down Under.
Leonie Pieterse welcomed the Boks to Australia:
"Welcome #amaboks! May you have the best time in the land of wonders!"
Vuyani Monelo expects a tough match:
"Good luck, Boks. I know it's not a happy hunting ground, as Australia tends to rise to the occasion in its home ground."
David Leslie Romainis is excited:
"All the best Boks. Looking forward to great and exciting rugby."
Kirk Lawler hopes the Boks are prepared:
"The Boks have their work cut out. I still don't understand their poor record there. It must be voodoo. Maybe they're focusing on NZ on that tour."
Marion Thomas is proud:
"Go Bokke go, stronger together. We stand tall to cheer you on, proudly South African."
