CAPE TOWN - The Springboks have taken their Test training to Belhar in Cape Town.
The Boks are preparing for the second Test against Australia in the city on Saturday.
Coach Rassie Erasmus has only retained five players from the team that lost against the Wallabies last weekend.
But Belhar fans aren’t nursing their wounds too long.
The proud rugby culture in Belhar is evident among the scores of Springbok supporters who have turned up in green and gold for their favourite players.
After a shock defeat at Ellis Park on Saturday, fans in Belhar are hoping for a very different result in Cape Town.
"I think this will spur the Boks on to go further and they will definitely win this game," one fan said.
"With training and motivation here in Belhar today, they can definitely muster up some good courage to pull out a win on Saturday," another fan added.
"They'll fix what they got wrong and the score will be in our favour," another supporter said.
Coach Rassie Erasmus has made 10 changes to the starting fifteen.
The side will look to rely on its traditional strengths and style of play to satisfy diehard fans.
Jesse Kriel takes over the reins from injured skipper Siya Kolisi.
Prop, Ox Nche, will serve as his vice-captain.
