Blitzboks coach Neil Powell‚ whose mantra has always been about taking care of the small details‚ which will in turn sort out the big issues‚ admitted that he had one eye on the World Series log.
Usually Powell denies looking further ahead than the next assignment‚ but in Vancouver‚ where the sixth leg of the 2018-19 season is taking place‚ the log is taunting him.
“We want to finish in the top four as this was always a target‚ so we realise that we need to perform at our best to achieve that.Powell feels an improved showing in Canada will help aid the Blitzboks’ quest‚ adding that the team did well in some areas in Las Vegas last week despite finishing seventh – their worst performance in five years.
“We can still improve though‚ but need to work harder in other areas. Giving possession away was the crucial element last week.
