I was really impressed with how Keegan grew as a leader during a difficult Currie Cup campaign last year ... We had to deal with a number of interruptions, through injury and Springboks coming back. I thought he coped really well.
For Tom Croft, the Lions series against South Africa in 2009 is a career highlight in danger of becoming an unshakeable curse. Reminders of that personal peak continue to stalk him, so long after the event. The 26-year-old Leicester flanker emerged as th

It's definitely not impossible that the Springboks could play a Test here in future, but it is naturally a decision that SARU will thoroughly reflect upon
To achieve that we have to prove that we have the ability to host Super Rugby teams like the Bulls and the Cheetahs without any problems and to fill the stadium. It could only strengthen our bid to also bring the Springboks to Polokwane in future
It was a campaign where we had to deal with a number of interruptions, through injury and Springboks coming back, so it was difficult to manage and I thought he did really well.

We need to make the Springboks unbeatable.
We have a very experienced squad, so empowerment is vital, these guys have been around the block and played at a high level ― most of them are Springboks ― so they will have a say in what we do and how we do it. A campaign can't be run without empowerment
Yes, he has been training with the squad. But he is still very young and I haven’t really seen much of him yet. He will however get an opportunity to rub shoulders with experienced Springboks to gain first-hand knowledge on how things are done
We will be without Springboks again next year sometimes so those are the players that must step up. You can never have enough, if you pick up injuries to two locks then you have got to have two more who have played at this level to replace them
You couldn't foresee a World Cup happening without the All Blacks, indeed without the Wallabies or the Springboks.
They were very good to me there and it was great to learn from Springboks like Naka (Drotske) and Os (Du Randt).
