JWC: Baby Boks pack punish Samoa
Junior Boks coach Dawie Theron feels like there’s more to come from his side despite their impressive in over Samoa on Saturday.
The power of South Africa’s pack told yet again with the majority of their tries being generated by the rolling maul, including one for captain Hanno Liebenberg.
Theron’s side are tied on points with Australia at the top of Pool B in the U20 World Championship before the two sides meet on Wednesday, in what should be an epic clash.
And even with the team’s obvious excellent in the set-piece, Theron still had some areas where he would like to see the side improve before facing the Aussies.
“We know that we have a strong pack of forwards this year and they showed what they can do tonight. We are working very hard on our line-outs and our driving mauls and got the reward. However, I do think we must hold onto the ball much longer and keep it under control so that we can get more points on the board,” said Theron.
“I think this team is a real quality team this year but we are not playing to our full potential and I would say we are playing at about 70 percent of where I want us to be. Our decision-making also need to improve.
