Springbok coach Jacques Nienaber said it was important to adapt to the travel delay rather than allow it to have a negative impact on their planning.
“We are a solution-driven team and we will not gain anything by allowing unforeseen circumstances such as this to derail our plans. “The coaches and conditioning staff have already adapted our training programme to suit our delayed arrival in Australia and we will get back down to business as soon as possible when we arrive Down Under.
“Fortunately this group of players have been together all season and they know our game plan and what we need to do to get our Castle Lager Rugby Championship campaign back on track, and that is our sole focus at this point. “We lost a little preparation and travel recovery time, but we have a massive task ahead of us, so we will do everything possible to adapt to the conditions and time zone as quickly as possible once we arrive in Australia and return to the training field.”Support independent journalism by subscribing to the
