The preparations for the Rugby World Cup are done and dusted, and it is now all systems go for thewho, as defending champions, will look to go back-to-back when the tournament gets underway in France on Friday.
Nienaber has previously stated that the clash against the Scots is the most important in the group stages. With Scotland having a lot of South African influence, the match promises to be intense.Sharing his thoughts on Scotland, Nienaber said he expects them to be well-prepped in the set pieces thanks to their scrum coach Pieter de Villiers.
“We all know Pieter de Villiers, they have good solid set pieces to play with the amount of ball they have and rhythm they have, to run the ball out wide, you need solid set pieces.”Because of the strength in depth in the Boks squad, the selection of the team that will do battle against Scotland will provide a headache for the Springboks’ management, but Nienaber feels the depth they have created is the only difference between now and the last World Cup in 2019.
