Nienaber satisfied as Bok alignment camps conclude
Springbok coach Jacques Nienaber says he’s happy with the progress made during a series of alignment camps ahead of the international season.
The Springbok coaching team wrapped up this stage of their preparation with a five-day camp in Cape Town on Thursday.
The team will kick off their 2022 season with three Tests against Wales before launching into the Rugby Championship, where they will line up against the All Blacks in back-to-back home Tests, which will be followed by a tour to Australia and Argentina.
They will then return home for their final Test against the Pumas in Durban in September.
“We are satisfied with the alignment camps, and we believe these sessions will be beneficial to ensure a smooth return to the training field before the three Tests against Wales,” said Nienaber.

“While the first alignment in Durban touched on the team’s programme this season and in the lead up to the World Cup in France, as well as a broad overview of what worked last season and what we can improve on, we zoomed into more detail at this camp focusing on the key areas for the team going forward as we turn our attention to the international season and further ahead to the Rugby World Cup.”
The next step for the coaches will be to select a squad within the next few weeks for their training camp in Pretoria in June.
“With the alignment camps now behind us we will turn our attention to selecting a national squad before the end of the month and ensuring that we plan as well as possible for our upcoming training camp,” said Nienaber.
