“The performances today [Saturday] were outstanding.
“Jeandre [Rudolph] was outstanding, Nama [Xaba] was unbelievable, as was Junior [Pokomela].
“The mixture was nice, and they were very good.
“I felt Zak [Burger] was classy as well and showed what he’s capable of.
“We look at the package like that, and one could be pretty chuffed looking at those guys that are putting their hands up.
“It makes it easier for the youngsters.
“Those youngsters are looking up to the older guys to see how everything is done, so they’ll grow incredibly quickly. We just have to be brave.”
