Head coach Mziwakhe Nkosi has named a relatively unchanged Lions 23 to face the Sharks at Ellis Park in the Currie Cup on Saturday.
“The half-time chat last week was the changing point for us because we knew we needed to be better. Getting those points places us in a position where we can now build,” Visagie said.
“I think physically we are certainly not far off at all. With more game time and time spent together, we can make an impact on all facets of our game especially when it comes to starting well.” Looking ahead to the Sharks, Visagie believes a high-paced game could put the opposition under pressure this week: “Key for this week for us is to pick up the tempo and with that, keep ball in hand. I think we can put them under pressure if we speed up the game and eliminate small mistakes. In other words, avoiding a stop-start approach to the game.”
