“There’s a lot of excitement in the group and the team is completely aligned in terms of what we have to do if we want to be successful in France.”
The coach said the team’s preparations for the match against Scotland were well underway and that they would continue the hard work on and off the field this week to ensure they are ready for the challenge on Sunday.
“We said from the outset that we would approach the tournament one match at a time, and the hard work behind the scenes to prepare for the Scotland clash started in Corsica already,” said Nienaber. “They are ranked fifth in the world, and we know what they are capable of, so it’s vital that we hit the ground running from our first training session.
“Fortunately, the players are used to the heat and humidity after training in these conditions in Corsica, so we are pleased with our preparations and can’t wait to begin the tournament.”
