COACH'S CORNER

Die kontrakgroep is tans met die afseisoenprogram besig. Baie aandag word aan krag en kondisionering gegee. Die groep breek op Dinsdag 13 Desember en keer terug op 4 Januarie 2012. Die spelers kry ‘n intensiewe oefenprogram wat hulle op hulle eie volg tydens die reses en word evalueer op 4 en 5 Januarie. Die voorseisoenprogram neem in aanvang op 8 Januarie en die eerste oefenwedstryd is op 16 Januarie teen die Madibas op Outeniqua Park.

Ek het baie vertroue in die groep. Die groep het vanjaar diepte en bestaan uit 34 spelers (teenoor die 22 van verlede seisoen). Die eesrte Vodacomwedstryd is op 10 Maart teen die Cheetahs in Bloemfontein. Die span word onder die leiding van die Vodacomafrigter, Eddie Myners, gebrei en daar word met groot verwagting uitgesien na ‘n goeie Vodacom en curriebekerseisoene. Die voormalige Springbokrugbyspelers, Anton Leonard en Bevin Fortuin, is onderskeidelik die voorspeler- en agterspelerafrigter van die groep en waardevolle insette word reeds deur hulle gelewer.

EAGLES LOSE NARROWLY TO THE EP KINGS

The Eagles narrowly lost their first Currie Cup match of the season to the EP Kings at the Nelson Mandela Stadium in Port Elizabeth 28 -20. Both teams scored one try each, with the remaining points coming from penalities. Howard Noble crossed the tryline for the Eagles, while Norman Nelson scored a fortuitous try for the EP Kings.
The Eagles enjoyed majority ball possession for large periods of the match and was unlucky not to leave Port Elizabeth with a win. The Eagles however played against a team that competed in the Nations Cup tournament and that boasts several high profile signings, amongst others Luke Watson and the Eagles can definitely feel optimistic about their prospects for the Currie Cup.
