Springbok center Lukhanyo Am said his rugby style remains profitable for the team. While scoring just two tries in the second half, South Africa easily beat Argentina 29-10 at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Gqeberha on Saturday. Am said the Springboks’ excellent forwards prepared a brilliant platform for them.

Springboks center Lukhanyo Am said the team are happy to stick to their way of playing rugby because it pays off for them.

In beating Argentina 29-10 at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Gqeberha on Saturday, the Springboks scored two tries, but unlike last week’s 32-12 win, they missed the bonus point while conceding a late try.

Am said he understands when people call on the Boks to play a faster, more open game, but said playing with their forward strength has worked for them.

“As a team we know where we are strong and what is working for us, although some people may claim a quick and open game,” Am said.

“What we have as Springboks is exceptional attacking force and it’s not something every team can boast about.

“It’s just about using our strength forward to create attacking opportunities for the full backs and forwards.

“We come back with wins with the way we play, so it works for us.”

Am said their much-maligned style of play has been able to accommodate the different mixes of players Springboks coach Jacques Nienaber has at his disposal.

“The way we play complements what we want to do and it works for us because we are able to put teams under pressure,” Am said.

“We are able to create opportunities to score points with the way we play and they are divided between forwards and full backs.”
