Former Springbok coach Jake White – on RugbyXV.co.za – answers readers’ best questions on Jean de Villiers, the Stormers, and the Boks’ conditioning.
Q: You were at the Stormers game against the Crusaders on Saturday, what does this outcome mean to the Boks going forward? The Stormers were up against possibly the best in New Zealand, how should we recover from this?
A: It should be a massive wake-up call for South Africa, especially because the win was so convincing. This result, however, won’t have any bearing on any possible World Cup match between the two countries, because New Zealand have for years dominated Super Rugby, without going on to win the Tri-Nations or World Cup. But we can’t say it has no bearing at all – even Allistair Coetzee said that the Saders were far too good for the Stormers.
