The SA Under-20 training group will assemble from 2 to 12 December at the Stellenbosch Academy of Sport for a second planning camp in preparation for the defence of their IRB Junior World Championship title in France next June.<\/p>\n
The extended group of players who attended the first training camp last month in Stellenbosch, were reduced to 38 and include many schoolboys who did not attend the previous camp because of exams, such as flyhalf and JWC winner Handr\u00e8 Pollard.<\/p>\n
Junior Springboks coach Dawie Theron said the purpose of the camp be to do as much planning as possible for the squad\u2019s forthcoming training matches early next year.<\/p>\n
Theron has line-up three training matches in January against the university teams of the Maties, Ikeys and UWC.<\/p>\n
According to Theron those three matches will serve as important on-field preparation for the planned tour to Argentina next March.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis camp is important because it will be the last time we see the boys before the end of the year.\u00a0 There will be a huge focus on our game planning, team structure, defensive systems and lineouts. We will have another get together in January, just a few days before the training matches against the university teams.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is still very early days, but I am happy with the overall planning at this stage and the management team is looking forward to working with the players again,\u201d said Theron.<\/p>\n
