Women's RWC QF Would Soothe Super Rugby Pain For Swys De Bruin

from On The Whistle Podcast

In this episode of OTW Rugby Africa we have Springbok women's coach Swys De Bruin outline his vision and blueprint for success for the national team. The SA women's team are ranked 12th in the world, and De Bruin is realistic about their ambitions as he would love to get into the quarters at the upcoming Women's World Cup. If that was achieved Swys says that would make up for all his Super Rugby heartache that came after three final losses with the Lions. De Bruin, who was one of Rassie Erasmus's assistants, gives insight into how the Boks believe they can beat their most respected rivals the All Blacks anywhere, and how people "don't appreciate the brilliant skill level in this team."     Host: Zayn NabbiGuest: Swys De Bruin (Springbok Women's Coach)#springboks #allblacks #southafrica #newzealand #rugby Follow us on IG: @otw_podcastFollow us on Twitter: @otw_podcastLike us on Facebook: On The Whistle PodcastShow Notes 00:00 - Intro 01:45 - Life away from rugby 04:45 - Back in the hot seat and arguably his biggest test yet 07:45 - Adapting his coaching style to the team 12:30 - Changing mindsets around women's rugby 16:45 - Siya Kolisi is a huge supporter of women's rugby 20:30 - The women's team love contact and game plan rooted in Bok DNA 26:00 - If SA women can make a World Cup quarterfinal, that will make up for Super Rugby final losses 28:30 - Rassie Erasmus is a massive nation builder 31:30 - Previous Bok teams gave the All Blacks "too much respect" 34:00 - Swys: "People don't appreciate the brilliant skill level in this team"     Duration: 38:15 Hosted on Acast.
