The Junior Springboks are leaving no stone unturned as they prepare for Saturday’s U20 World Championship opener against Fiji at Cape Town Stadium.
The SA U20 side moved into their official tournament base in the Mother City from their home base in Stellenbosch, and immediately went about their business with an afternoon session against their Australian counterparts at the Hamilton rugby club grounds in Sea Point.Speaking to local media shortly after the team had checked into their tournament team hotel, assistant coach Lumumba Currie said the focus of team for this week is to fine tune their preparations for the game against Fiji.
The past weekend the team also had a workout against New Zealand at the Sanlam Boland Stadium in Wellington, which also proved valuable for the upcoming showpiece. The Fijian side will consist of players who played in the Pacific and New Zealand U20 competitions, which means they are battle hardened and have a team with settled combinations.
“Fiji have been playing together for a while now, and played in the NZU20 competition, which means that they’ve spent time together, which should give them confidence.”
