Players in great shape - Coetzee
Jan 08,2013
Stormers coach Allister Coetzee was a happy man after the second day of training at the squad's High Performance Centre base in Bellville on Tuesday.
The Currie Cup-winning coach and the rest of his coaching staff welcomed back their players to the HPC on Monday after a three-week break over the Festive Season.
However, all the players followed individual fitness programmes during the off-season and the coach was delighted with the results.
"I was satisfied with all the players - all of whom returned in great shape," Coetzee told the Stormers' website.
"We did a lot of fitness during November and December and the guys went away and stuck to their programmes over the holiday season.
"This week we will be continuing with a conditioning phase, with a rugby element to it, but next week on our pre-season camp in Hermanus our focus will be solely rugby specific."
Coetzee will announce the squad for the Hermanus camp on Friday as well as confirming the team's two pre-season friendlies which take place early next month.
"It's always great getting away as a squad and we're looking forward to our trip to Hermanus," he concluded.
