Their first training camp will take place at the Stellenbosch Academy of Sport next week with Dazel being tasked to prepare the team for the upcoming tournaments in Dubai and the HSBC Cape Town Sevens, while SA Rugby look for a new coach.
Having coached the team before moving to the Blitzbok coaching set-up, Dazel said: “It feels like a long time ago – only Mathrin (Simmers) is left from that era, so it will be a new group of players for me, but that is the exciting part.
“The aim of this camp will be to establish some depth and to try and develop a core skills base with the group. I will do some video analysis on the established players to have a look on where they need to improve, while the camp will give the new players a good feel on where they are and how much development will be needed for them.”
Seven dual-coded players, who were part of the Springbok Women squad at the recent Rugby World Cup in New Zealand, have been given time off. This will mean that an opportunity will be given to seven new players to attend the camp at SAS.
