BRENDAN VENTER: Why the Boks are winning again
'An effective attack takes time to hone and is underpinned by an offensive mindset and the ability to strike when the opportunity arises'
The Springbok players made their supporters, and us as a coaching staff, proud when they clinched a 3-0 series victory over France in Johannesburg on Saturday. While the performance wasn’t perfect, the effort from the players was amazing. As a professional, there should be something inside you that wants to get the job done and I’ve experienced that in spades with the current Springbok squad. Some pundits have attempted to downplay our series whitewash over France. Their argument is that we faced a poor French team at the end of a draining European season. However, in my experience of rugby, you are only as good as your opponent allows you to be.
