At the Rugby World Cup Japan tournament, South Africa, where Japan will play in the quarterfinals on the 20th, performed the final public practice, and Harry Pollard, a command tower, confirmed the kick.
South Africa, aiming for the third championship in the World Cup, is a fighting method with a strong physique in the foreground, winning the team with the most scores and trials in the first league and winning the quarterfinals on the 20th. I will play against Japan which advanced to the best 8 for the first time.
On the 18th, from 5:30 pm, Scrum Half and standoff players practiced for about 30 minutes at the Tokyo Stadium, the venue of the game, and Pollard, who also serves as a kicker at the standoff of the command tower, was accurate from various angles during the rain. I scored a goal with a nice kick.
In addition, Scrum Half's Fuff Declark repeatedly practiced the kick to raise the ball as high as he showed in a test match with Japan on the 6th of last month.
After the practice, Pollard said, “Tactics are a secret, but I can't say it, but drop goals and penalty goals play an important role in the game. I want to do what they should do in the game so that there is no such thing. "
According to the team, the practice on the previous day on 19th will not be disclosed, and 18th will be the last practice before the game in front of the press.
