Paul Roos 🤝 @Springboks, the influence goes both ways. Kolbe-esque from PRG’s u16 winger this weekend. “Chasing lost causes.”
Defence and effort won this for the Baby Boks. Tackles made: Norton (24) Theron (17) Moyo (14) Mnebelele (14) Lubbe (14) Linde (14) Ngobese (11) Hlekani (11) Nothing more South African than winning with pure grit and guts 🇿🇦🏆
Lots of talk about Riley Norton the leader, but also give plaudits to the player: 80 minutes for the third time this RWC 12 carries (2nd most) 42m gained (9th most) 18 tackles (most – second most was 13) 1 dominant tackle Ridiculous work rate for a young lock.
Probably a good time to post this again. From Paul Roos’ u19B/C-side to the Boks. From Markötter to the World.
How’s this for some innovation from PRG’s u19B/C squad against Durbanville this evening? Brilliant to see schools trying interesting things! @MB5Plug @adrian_slabbert
