“From a confidence and peaking at the right time and believing that the things that we were working on in the past three to four years is finally coming together. One thing was to keep the ball for longer and that puts pressure on the opposition and with that pressure we can create scoring opportunities.”
“That’s what we want to achieve and if we do that we will get a very good opportunity to score”, says coach Stanley Raubenheimer. The Boks have qualified three previous times for the World Cup in 2006, 2010 and 2014. They finished 12th in Canada in 2006 and then finished tenth in England in 2010 and also tenth in France four years later. The team did not qualify for the 2017 World Cup in Ireland. The Boks will be in a tough Group alongside England, France and Fiji.
“We know that France and England will not be easy games but our main focus is to go and enjoy and make sure that we implement our game. We do our structures according to what the coaches have been teaching us and we are planning to take one game at a time. Not to frustrate ourselves. We have to focus on that one and move to another one. Main target is to give it all in the first game and when we play against Fiji, we give it all,” says skipper Nolusindiso Booi.
