Springbok coach Jacques Nienaber has called up eight more players for two-day off-field sessions in Cape Town as they prepare for the international season which includes the World Cup in France later in the year.
“With the players we are tracking scattered around the country and the world, it means we need to be innovative in the way we interact with them. But the most important factor is we have regular communication with them as we work towards the Rugby World Cup.“The players attending the sessions over the weekend have been participating in the Vodacom United Rugby Championship , so we are pleased to have this opportunity to work with them face-to-face.
“It was excellent in the sense that we had on-field sessions and off-field alignment sessions, which allowed us to analyse where the game is at this point and what we have to work on, and we were pleased to see the collaboration between the coaches and players.“We’ll now keep a close eye on how the players kick on from this and implement what they learnt at franchise level,” he said.
