Springbok captain Eben Etzebeth admitted his side have no excuses for their 38-3 loss to Ireland on Saturday.
The Boks were totally outplayed in almost every department and suffered their worst ever defeat against the Irish. The result has increased the pressure on under-fire coach Allister Coetzee ahead of Saturday's clash against France in Paris.
"It's a tough day. It's definitely not what anyone wanted," Etzebeth told Sport24.
"We've got no excuses this week. We're going to have to rectify this, us and the management, on Monday and make new plans for next weekend."
The skipper added that even though match preparation went well, they excecuted poorly.
"It was a good week of training and then unfortunately tonight things didn't go our way," Etzebeth said.
"We got into the right areas but we couldn't hold onto the ball … we couldn't finish our chances and they finished all of theirs."
