Quotes Our local South African guys like Salmaan Moerat and Ruan Nortje have taken their opportunities, Salman has been physical and has picked up things nicely, while Eben Etzebeth has come back and is gaining form We are really fortunate with the depth at lock and we are looking forward to having all our available locks on the park. I feel our locks handled the pressure well and we want to evolve from a technical point as well. So plenty of positives for our locks and lineout play Our coaching team has already done all the analysis, reviewed our game and looked at our opposition we will face this year. We are all well prepared and look forward to a great season ahead We always look to stay a step ahead of our opponents, and the main goal is always to get better because teams bring so much different tactics in order to counter our lineout play and in particular our driving mauls. So it becomes imperative for us to always become creative and this will present an opportunity to do your lineout play more effectively and it’s nice to share some ideas to the players and also to get some ideas from the players for us from a coaching view point because lineout play always links to attack or links to defence and so it’s good to have those conversations to ensure we spot on with our lineout game.
