National Planning Camp concludes
Springbok coach Peter de Villiers said the second national planning camp had achieved all its objectives when it concluded on Monday.
Thirty seven players gathered in Durban on Sunday and Monday for a series of meetings in preparation for the coming international season.
“Getting together after Saturday’s tough Vodacom Super Rugby matches, with winners and losers in the same room, presented its challenges,” said De Villiers. “But the players were quickly on the same page and focusing on the national cause for a few hours.
“There were different components to the camp and we had medical and logistical sessions as well some required photo-shoots but the most important part was spent on technical rugby matters so that our planning will be fully in place for when the international season kicks off next month.
“I’m very happy with our planning to date. We are at a more advanced stage in our preparations than we have ever been before and I have to thank the franchises for releasing players for these short camps to help make it possible.”
De Villiers said that the third national camp – due to take place in Johannesburg on Sunday and Monday – had been cancelled due to potential Vodacom Super Rugby commitments.
