The Junior Springboks got their short tour of Georgia off to a good but cold start with a live training session against the Lelo Saracens club in Tbilisi on Wednesday afternoon.
The SA U20s have experienced sub-zero and snowy conditions since their arrival in the Georgian capital on Monday, but they are taking the freezing temperatures in their stride and went about undeterred with their preparations.
On Wednesday, the Junior Boks encountered snow â- vastly different to the high temperatures at their base in Stellenbosch in recent weeks â- when they left for the Lelo Saracens club.
The SA U20s had a good workout of about one hour against the club’s senior men’s team and afterwards, Junior Bok coach Kevin Foote said he could already see value in the tour.
