Swys de Bruin hopes to usher in a new era for the women in green and gold as he takes over as the coach of the Springbok women’s team.Veteran coach Swys de Bruin is relishing taking over the reigns of the Springbok women’s team.“It is great to be back with SA Rugby after being involved in with the Junior Springboks and Springboks in the past and I cannot wait to start their Rugby World Cup journey with the Springbok Women,” said De Bruin.
As they set out to prepare for WXV 2 and the Women’s RWC, De Bruin was pleased with the counsel he got from his coaching team, which included Laurian Johannes-Haupt, “I was impressed by what I heard from Franzel and Laurian in our first week together, while my relationship with Bafana started a long time ago at the Lions, where he won national titles at age group level and I know we will all work well together, as was clear after our first couple of days in camp.”The purpose of the Gqeberha camp is to synchronise rugby tactics and game plans with their recently hired coaching team, which is led by De Bruin.
This is in preparation for WXV 2, which will also see the team play Japan on September 27, Australia on October 5, and Italy on October 12.
