Lions assistant coach Ricardo Loubscher was upbeat this week, praising the energy of the squad despite the challenging tour.
“The energy within the camp is good, he commented. We can’t wait for Saturday, it’s great to be back home.”
Loubscher gave insight this week on the team’s approach and how preparations have gone ahead of Scarlet’s visit to Ellis Park.
“We know that it’s going to be a tough challenge on the weekend. Scarlets present a different approach defensively, so from an attack point of view, we need to be ready for that, he cautioned.”
“Our training this week was focused mainly on simulating the pressure we can expect from the opposition in terms of defence and attack pictures, in order for the players to get a feel of what it will be like come Saturday, he concluded.”
