“I was in a facility in Cape Town just for like two weeks. I had a chat with Rassie and he told me he has got a spot where I can just switch off mentally and then afterwards I can get a break with my family. “I haven’t seen my family this whole year so me and Rassie had a chat and I agreed with him and so I have taken time off to spend with my family. It has been tough but I had to do it instead of going on tour because the following year is going to be a hectic year.
Asked if it meant a lot to have the SA director of rugby in his corner, Jantjies replied: “Yeah, a big help, massive help. He took me there and we chatted and I said, ‘Coach, I think it is a great idea. Let’s do it’. From his perspective whatever he tells me I’ll do it 99.9 percent.
