Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>In Genoa<\/p>\n

Springbok coach Jacques Nienaber showered lavish praise on his back three, especially Kurt-Lee Arendse, after his team’s comprehensive 63-21 win against Italy in Genoa on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Four of the Boks’ nine tries were scored by the back three, with Arendse scoring a brace and providing an assist for the last try scored by Cobus Reinach.<\/p>\n

Arendse scored with his first touch of the ball in the second minute while Cheslin Kolbe limped off with what looked like a hamstring injury after scoring a wonderful try.<\/p>\n

Damian Willemse, who shifted to wing when Manie Libbok came on for Kolbe, also scored.<\/p>\n

Nienaber said the growing depth in the back three department was outstanding, especially with the absences of Makazole Mapimpi (who wasn’t in the match-day 23) and the injured Canan Moodie.<\/p>\n

“I think they were outstanding today, especially Kurt-Lee,” Nienaber said.<\/p>\n

“We’ve got some exciting outside backs and you can also measure Mapimps in there. We’ve had a good group that’s developed over this year, and you also have to factor in Canan Moodie.<\/p>\n

“We’ve got nice competition there and there’s also Sbu Nkosi, but I thought tonight, they got the balance right in terms of asking questions of the defence and exploiting space at the back.”<\/p>\n

Nienaber wasn’t sure about the extent of Kolbe’s injury, even though it doesn’t affect the Boks from a selection perspective next week.<\/p>\n

The Bok Test against England at Twickenham next week falls outside of the World Rugby Test window, meaning France and England-based players won’t be available.<\/p>\n

Kolbe, who plays for Toulon in France, wasn’t going to play next week.<\/p>\n

“I don’t know right now, but I think it\u2019s a hammy. I still need to talk to the doctor,” Nienaber said.<\/p>\n

“During the game when I saw the injury, it may have been a soft tissue injury.”<\/p>\n
