Rassie Erasmus is a happy head coach after wrapping up the first Springbok alignment camp of the year that took place in the Cape on Thursday.
The camp – the first of three before the 2024 season kicks off in June – started with a two-day strategic session with the coaches on Monday and Tuesday, while the coaches and strength and conditioning staff presented their plans to 43 players starting on Wednesday.

Rassie says: “The camp was invaluable both in terms of developing our structures for the next few seasons and in getting the coaches and players to get to know one another better, especially with the introduction of Jerry [Flannery], Tony [Brown] and Jaco [Peyper] to our coaching staff.
“The coaches and Jaco, as our national laws’ advisor, presented a broad outline of their plans to the players and held a series of split forwards and backs sessions, while we also presented the Springbok macro plan for the year, so we are happy with the foundation laid with a little over four months before we kick off the international season.”
