We look at the three points that speak in front of the second test of the spring against Italy on Saturday, where Willie Le Roux will become the eighth test of South Africa.

Red Finally gets your recognition

The Springbox He has published a video on the social networks that showed that Le Roux received his first spring blazer in 2013. year after debiting against Italy In the durb and that June.

When it comes to insufficiently appreciated boxing, Le Roux must be up somewhere near the top. Despite being always present in Erama Rassie Erasmus, fans of South African fans sometimes derived and ridiculed for the mistakes he made.

In the case of Erasmus itself, even he did not fully appreciate Le Roux when the fullest was a player at Stormers While Erasmus was in charge.

. Erasmus said.

“If you talk to anyone in the team, the way Willie sometimes looks like, when he’s a little down or not happy, it’s definitely not a reflection of the way he feels.

“I was definitely wrong to keep him in Stormer and now gets his 100th, he won two world cups, so we’re very proud of him and we can help him to help him make it a striking game.”

Assistant coach Mzwandile Sitck knows Le Roux since he was a young star in Stellenbosch many years ago while the stick was still a player and noticed how much Bulls Playmaker is “passed”.

“The first time I met Willie, he was during my seven rugby days, and if someone looked at what was passing and how people criticized in 2019. years, it makes us very proud of him” The stick said.

While Le Roux is prone to mistakes in games in games, his vision in the attack is second to none in the South African rugby. The way the marshal’s deadly couple of wings around the park should be something hard to miss when one day hangs boots.

The fact that Le Roux for the field will take 100. The road as Springbok this weekend, joining seven others that it did so in history, the test is not only in his ability as a player, but also his mental resistance.

It also gives rugby to the public a chance to show their gratitude to a player who must have heard their critique often enough, but still obviously respected in the camp.

“Many people don’t see what we see as a player and what a smart rugby player is”, ” A stick added while captain Salmaan Moerat said: “I grew up watching Willie Play in Paarl and for BolandyAnd to see him playing his 100. The test is amazing.

“To play a single test match for Springbox is special, but to be selected 100 times showing the quality of the player.”

Standards and Fire Meeting with Fire

What another thematic stick was talking about was one of the standards.

It’s been almost nine years since the spieles lost to Italy first and the only time, and in that period they made so turn that 42-24 The victory in the first test in Pretoria met with the disappointment of Hi Coaching staff.

“I guess is positive that we have achieved six attempts, but we are frustrated” Erasmus said after victory.

“I didn’t pick up in the week that it was the way we performed, but everything was fixable – but it’s definitely frustrating.”

Although 42 points weren’t as much as some predicted, Springbox would score, Erasmus was more dissatisfied with three in return.

This week is held with the media and reminded your players that everyone is too aware of what is expected of them.

“Last week we started with good intensity, but they worked strong in the second half. It is clear how much adults are six nations, where they also provided several qualities,” He said.

“Adding to this, have a well-organized hitting match and exterior back with energy, so we need to improve and be much more efficient in the way we want to play the game.

“It’s our other official test match of the season, but we know what our standards as a team are.”

With that way that Skiper Moerat spoke about “fighting fire” wanted at his press conference, it is clear that the message was admitted.

“They are a very physical team, so it will be a mass game” He must have said. “We certainly don’t underestimate them.

“They are a passionate side that was mostly formed from two clubs, and they are already playing together, and they are proud of the placed pieces, while they also have a quality chase with a good game, and last week they have shown a real fight.”

Italians can expect a big response from boxing this weekend while they look to correct things in the eyes of their unfortunate training units.
