Springboks embrace their fate in France, says Vincent Koch

Breaking local news in Boksburg

Vincent Koch says the Boks have been preparing as though they would play in the World Cup quarter-finals, despite having to wait on the Ireland-versus-Scotland clash.

With both teams ranked in the top five in the world, Bok head coach Jacques Nienaber and his charges have been realistic in their view about making it through, and have ensured that they continue with their training programme should the cards fall in their favour. “We did everything we could to be in a position to play in the quarter-final, so now we have to wait and see.

“We zoomed into our game this past week and the coaches came up with plans on where we can improve so that we are at the level we need to be for the quarter-final and to be in a position to play our best rugby, and the players bought into it, so it was a good training week.”
