The Boks have been able to build capacity since then head coach Rassie Erasmus took over in 2018, and it is a trend that has continued under Jacques Nienaber. “We are lucky overall in terms of the depth of the squad. We are in a good position. There are certain areas where we need to grow more experience but as we continue on this journey by having the players in camp we can build more in the next two years ahead of the World Cup‚” said Davids.
“As long as we do that and we are not complacent in how we approach stuff‚ there is still a desire and a commitment to be the best. He said 2018 “was the start of the journey with coach Rassie and coach Jacques. Then it was about aligning players. Now everyone is aligned. No-one is complacent. Whether you have 100 caps or not.”
