This time four years ago the Springboks were preparing for a World Cup more in hope than expectation. In 2023 captain Siya Kolisi and his men know there is a target on their backs.
What worked in 2019 won’t necessarily be as successful again, although the tenets of strong defence, an accurate kicking game and a powerful set piece never change.
“We’re growing and the nice thing about it is that the coaches have set the standard and said there’s no way you can do what you did in 2019 and win now,” Kolisi said at a Bok training camp in Cape Town this week. “As you can see with the Six Nations, everything is being made much faster. So, we’re preparing for that and, step by step, we’ll get there.”
Boks assistant coach Mzwandile Stick during the squad’s press conference at Southern Sun The Cullinan on 28 February, 2023 in Cape Town, South Africa. In terms of the technical aspects of the tackle situation, Kolisi says they are specifically targeting that area of the game.
