LONDON (Reuters) - There will be no let-up in the pressure on South Africa against the U.S. in their Rugby World Cup Pool B clash on Wednesday, but Springbok captain Fourie du Preez says the team have a clearer idea of the way they want to play.

A bonus-point victory at the Olympic Stadium would enable the Boks top the pool and advance from a group they were expected to dominate before the 34-32 loss to Japan in their tournament opener.
