The Springboks’ historic win over the All Blacks in Wellington has come at a price.

Several players were forced off the field in the Boks’ 43-10 demolition of the All Blacks due to injuries and head-injury assessments, mostly in the backline.

Lood de Jager, Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu, Aphelele Fassi, Cheslin Kolbe and Cobus Reinach all left the field, with only Reinach returning after passing his HIA.

Rassie Erasmus confirmed that the injuries to De Jager and Fassi “appear to be serious” with the extent of the damage only known after further medical checks.

Meanwhile, Erasmus praised Springbok supporters for their faith in the team and the coaching staff after naming a new-look backline for the clash, and said he was thrilled that the team could make the country proud once again.

“The main thing for us going into this game was to get the belief in the team back again, and we are back at No 1 in the world, but we know we are going to face two tough matches against Argentina, who have really been playing well,” said Erasmus.
