Bok's will be Boks while evolving attacking under Brown: 'I won't teach us to play like All Blacks'
Bok's stand to improve their attacking style under the tutelage of new attack coach, Mzwandile Stick, while retaining their traditional strengths.
Head coach, Jacques Nienaber, says that the Springboks will remain true to their physical style of play but they will also improve their attacking game.
The Springboks have a proud history of being a physical team that relies on their forward power to win games. However, they have also been criticized for their lack of attacking flair.
That could change under the leadership of new attack coach, Mzwandile Stick, who is known for his attacking philosophy.
Brown, who played for the Springboks from 2009 to 2016, is excited about the opportunity to work with Stick.
New attack coach, Mzwandile Stick will bring a fresh approach to the Springbok's attack.
He said: "I think he's got a really good understanding of the game and he's got a good attacking philosophy. He's got a lot of experience and I think he can bring a lot to the team."
However, Nienaber said that the Springboks will not be abandoning their traditional strengths.
He said: "We're not going to change our DNA. We're still going to be a physical team. We're still going to be a team that relies on our forward power."
"But we also want to be a team that can attack with more flair and creativity. We want to be a team that can score tries from all over the field."
The Springbok's will evolve their attacking style under Brown but they will not abandon their traditional strengths.
"We're going to evolve our attack," Brown said. "We're not going to try and become the All Blacks. We're going to be the Springboks and we're going to play to our strengths."
"But we're also going to try and add some new things to our game. We're going to try and be more creative and we're going to try and score more tries."
The Springboks will have a chance to show off their new attacking style when they face Wales in their first Test match of the year on July 2.
