Swys de Bruin praised the defensive attitude and attacking prowess of the Springbok Women in their 36-19 win over Spain at DHL Stadium in Cape Town on Thursday.
De Bruin, the team’s Performance Coach, hailed the display as another step forward in the preparations towards the WXV 2 and next year’s Rugby World Cup.De Bruin was pleased with the way the side defended in the opening quarter of the match when Spain came hard and fast at the Springbok Women, and in the last 10 minutes, when the opponents produced waves of concerted attacks once again.
“The Spanish team certainly gave us some food for thought, but we will work on our mistakes and get ready for our first game in the WXV 2 against Japan.”
