Re: Rassie. A tactical genius?
Why do the Bok tight five have such poor stamina ? Strength training only ? 1 test in 18 months, limited time to practise and Covid will do that to you.

Re: Rassie. A tactical genius?
Why do the Bok tight five have such poor stamina ? Strength training only ? They don’t need it because the PT is on every other break in play to rub an ice pack on someone’s head for 2 minutes.

It's an odd one for Rassie. He's clearly under pressure, but it will all come down to results at the end of the day. If SA win the series it won't matter, it will just be a touch of shithousery that will be quickly forgotten in the face of a good victory. If they lose, then it's not such a good loo...
