South Africa assistant coach Mzwandile Stick on Friday, ahead of their semi-final against England at the Stade de France on Saturday, said that Springbok scrumhalf Cobus Reinach is in a good space and has his family around him.
"I've seen him every day. He's in a good space. He's got his family around him.
"I must also give credit to the French [organisers], the security around our hotels, with all the teams in the World Cup, the security was just another level. So I don't think at the moment, there is something to worry about because we know for sure we are well protected in our camps.
Stick said he did not see the threats that was made against scrum-half Cobus Reinach after South Africa's quarter-final win over France:
"Personally I haven't received anything on my phone so I am not stressed about it. But obviously we are aware of the situation with Cobus and his family. The players do their job to make sure they represent their country. All the players were on the field and we are here to represent South Africa. If someone has got a problem with that, the French authorities will have to deal with it.
"From our side we will make sure we protect each other as a team, our players, managers, everyone involved. Once again, we don't have a place for that in our game. You win some, you lose some. That's part of the game. I am actually disappointed to have to send that message to a player. We will keep doing everything in our powers to make our people proud at home."
"It's good to see our players also in a good space when they've got their families around. That's one thing we as a coaching staff and management, we are finding a good balance in the sense of getting the human side first to be happy, you know," Stick said.
