Die missiel van Malmesbury, beter bekend as Pieter-Steph du Toit, het die Springbokke as kaptein op 22 Junie na \u2019n sege teen Wallis op Twickenham in Londen gelei. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die Springbokke se rugbyseisoen het op \u2019n ho\u00eb noot afgeskop met \u2019n oorwinning van 41-13. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vir Du Toit, \u2019n boorling van die Swartland, was di\u00e9 toetswedstryd besonders spesiaal nadat hy op 9 November 2013 as 21-jarige sy buiging vir die Springbokke in Cardiff teen Wallis gemaak het. Hy is op 2 Junie 2018 eenmalig as die kaptein vir die toetswedstryd teen Wallis aangewys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hoewel Du Toit dit as \u2019n massiewe eer en voorreg beskryf om die span se kaptein te kon wees, het hy gedurende \u2019n nuuskonferensie kort voor die wedstryd vertel dat die kapteinskap self egter irrelevant is. \u201cDit het \u2019n posbeskrywing en die posbeskrywing is kommunikasie tussen die spelers en die skeidsregter. Binne die span het elkeen \u2019n spesifieke rol om te vervul en dit is jou verantwoordelikheid op die veld om seker te maak dat daardie aspek van die spel uitgevoer word,\u201d verduidelik hy nederig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Du Toit, oudleerder van die Ho\u00ebrskool Swartland, het hy \u2019n spesiale band met Wallis en beskryf dit as persoonlik vir hom omdat hy in 2013 tydens sy eerste wedstryd teen hulle sy dybeen beseer het. Hy het ook die toets teen Wallis as spesiaal beskryf in terme van die respek wat hulle as spanlede vir mekaar het en die manier waarop hulle speel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Du Toit, wat teen die hange van Kasteelberg grootgeword het, het n\u00e1 va die toetswedstryd ges\u00ea hy het baie van homself en sy rol as kaptein in terme van wat sy persoonlike verantwoordelikheid teenoor die span is, geleer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie druk is altyd daar om te wen wanneer jy jou Springboktrui aantrek,\u201d het hy by navraag ges\u00ea. Volgens hom word daar nie \u2019n verwagting deur die afrigters of die voormalige kapteins geskep nie. \u201cHulle verwag dat jy net jouself moet wees. As ek voel dat ek iets op die hart het wat nodig is om ges\u00ea te word, sal ek dit definitief s\u00ea. En as ek voel die boodskap is oorgedra, is dit nie nodig om dit te herhaal en tyd te mors op een aspek van die spel nie,\u201d brei hy uit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit is vir hom belangrik dat die span momentum bou en gereeld onder die topdrie van die w\u00eareldranglys te bly, eerder as slegs kapteinskap. \u201cAs ons daar kan bly, doen ons iets reg en bly mededingend \u2013 en om jong ouens in die span in te bring. As ons dit kan doen, sal SA rugby en die Springbokke tot die volgende W\u00eareldbeker op \u2019n goeie voet wees.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Du Toit se persoonlike doelwit is om onder meer elke wedstryd sy beste te speel \u2013 alles te gee wat hy kan \u2013 en om daar te wees vir die span..<\/span> Die Castle Lager Incoming-reeks skop komende Saterdag (6 Julie) met die eerste van twee toetse teen Ierland af, gevolg deur \u2019n eenmalige toets teen Portugal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Die missiel van
