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.

BOLAND BEAT EAGLES

The SWD Eagles suffered their second loss of the Currie Cup by losing to the Boland Cavaliers 49 - 24 (halftime 34 - 10) in Wellington on a cold, wet and miserable Wellington afternoon on Friday.
The Eagles were unable to score a bonus point try and scored 3 tries by Howard Noble and Jeff Taljard (2). All 3 tries were converted by fullback Elric van Vuuren, who also succeeded with a penalty. The injuries suffered the previous week against the Valke clearly had an impact on the team, although a player like Dumisani Msilane had a very good game. The Boland scored 8 very well worked tries.
The Eagles next face the log leaders, EP Kings at Outeniqua Park on Friday 26 August 2011. Kickoff is at 17h00 as the match is broadcast live by Supersport.
