The championship in Australia (from Thursday 2 until Sunday 12 May) gave us a good idea of where we are as a team but I think we will be a much better team at this Junior World Cup. We are just looking to improve in the small things that let us down in Australia. At the championship we\u2019ve learnt that our fundamentals are very important so we will want to improve on that in the Junior World Cup. We played against the hosts, New Zealand and Argentina,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moos is originally from Grassy Park and attended Fairview Primary and Wynberg Boys Junior and High School.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-hero\">Hero<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>His father Munier is his childhood hero because of the way he goes about his day-to-day business. He says he taught him almost everything. \u201cMy message to younger players is to keep working hard at the small things because those are the things that could be the difference between good and great rugby players and to never give up regardless of where you come from. My father also had the most influence on my rugby career as well as all the coaches that has worked with me since I was four-years old because they always believed in me from a young age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>READ |&nbsp;<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news24.com\/news24\/community-newspaper\/peoples-post\/athlone-man-has-eyes-set-on-springbok-jersey-20240416\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Athlone man has eyes set on Springbok jersey<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI come from a rugby family so my father and my uncles all played rugby when they were younger, they obviously played during a difficult era but they always give me tips on what I could do better. I am also looking forward to playing at DHL Stadium as I\u2019ve never played there,\u201d Asad says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When he is not playing rugby he loves being outdoors and spending time with family and friends. \u201cWhen travelling for rugby matches locally and globally you miss the support of your family and friends, but luckily for us there were a lot of South Africans living in Australia, so we felt at home with their support in Oz. My long term goal is to hopefully be a Springbok one day and to be a Stormers rugby player,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Tickets are through<\/strong><a
