Springboks coach Jacques Nienaber has demanded an improvement in their discipline when they meet the Wallabies again this weekend after their errors were brutally punished by Australian sharpshooter Quade Cooper.

The South Africans conceded 11 penalties in their 28-26 Rugby Championship loss on Sunday and had to play for 20 minutes with 14 men after skipper Siya Kolisi and fullback Willie le Roux were sin-binned.

Nienaber says poor discipline cost them 23 points.

He says they did well to come back late in the game but they still lost because they conceded a penalty.

He adds they will have a re-look at their game against the Wallabies, fix the things that needs fixing and improve their discipline.

The Springboks will face the Wallabies at 7.05pm Saturday while the All Blacks meet Argentina at 10.05pm Saturday.
