“Ndicel’ i13 out of 13,” said Kriel, which translates to “I wanted 13 out of 13.” He continued: “We dropped the ball, and we’re very disappointed. It’s small margins. Next season, we want to push to go even better.”for the Boks results-wise, and it shows just how high their standards are that despite being the most dominant international team over the year, they still aren’t satisfied with what they are producing, and believe that can get better.
Kriel said the team were happy with the year as a whole, but there was still room for improvement and the players would now be looking to replicate that form for their franchises, before joining up again and trying to be even better over the next international season.
