We are facing a tough and well coached springbok team- Schmidt

from Rugby Hosted by SABC Sport

Ireland coach Joe Schmidt said that it was tough selecting his team to play against the Springboks in their opening Test of the Castle Lager Incoming Series because of the many injuries to their frontline players. Schmidt also admitted that there are a lot of fatigued bodies in his squad after a long season and most of the players having participated in their domestic Pro12 final just two weekends ago. The 50 year old New Zealand bor coach does not believe that the Springboks will be vulnerable even though they are starting a new era under Allister Coetzee and instead believes that Coetzee’s vast international coaching experience will be an advantage for the home side.
