Rugby: England defence coach Kevin Sinfield has declared his side are in awe of the Springboks ahead of their semi-final clash at the Rugby World Cup.
England 'in awe' of champion Springboks | 01:26South African star Cobus Reinach is in a “good space” ahead of Sunday morning’s Rugby World Cup semi-final against England, despite receiving death threats – including one targeting his young son.
But South Africa assistant coach Mzwandile Stick said the 33-year-old would not be deterred by “hooligans” as the reigning champions attempt to qualify for the final.“He’s in a good space – he’s got his family around him,” he told reporters. Stick said Reinach, who plays for French club Montpellier, had his family with him and had the full support of the Springboks camp.“We don’t have a place for hooligans in our game.“The players, they do their job to make sure that they represent their country … we are here to represent South Africa. If somebody has got a problem with that, I think the French authorities will have to deal with that.“You win some, you lose some as part of the game.
