SA Rugby confirmed on Friday that 58 players have been invited to the Under-17 Elite Player Development camp, which kicks off at Boland Landbou after the year-end exams.

The camp will run from 28 November until 5 December. All the invited players are part of SA Rugby's EPD system and are still eligible to play for the SA Schools and Under-18 sides next year.

Apart from gym and field sessions, the players will also work on skills development and strength and conditioning under a group of specialist coaches.

Overseen by Herman Masimla, SA Rugby's Senior Manager: Development in the new Participation and Development Department, a host of coaches will work with the players, including James Winstanley, Lwazi Zangqa, Cobus van Dyk and Kathleho Lynch, all of whom were involved with the SA U18s in the last few seasons.

Ian Schwartz, General Manager: Participation and Development, said: “We are excited to bring together these talented young players for the U17 EPD camp, which is a crucial step in their rugby development.

“This camp will not only give them the opportunity to showcase their skills, but also to continue honing the fundamentals necessary to succeed at the next level.

“Our commitment to long-term player development is a key focus, and we are confident that this group of players will form a strong foundation for the future of South African rugby.”

SA Under-18 head coach Katleho Lynch could not hide his disappointment after his team went down to France in the U18 International Series on Tuesday, but he urged his team to lift their heads and knuckle down as they start preparing for their second game, against England on Saturday.

Lynch realises it will be a tough encounter against a well-coached England side, who recorded a comprehensive victory over France last Friday, while were way too strong for the Western Province XV on Tuesday.

After England beat the WP team by 78-15,the South Africans were made to pay for a slow start against France, who led by 23-0 at the break before recording a 37-24 win.

While their first half performance wasn’t what the coaches had expected, Lynch was far more upbeat about what he saw after the break, with the SA U18s “winning” the second half by 24-13.

“It really was a game of two halves, and the high error rate in the first half put us under immense pressure,” said Lynch.

“In Test matches at any level, if you allow errors to accumulate and you keep on repeating them, you’re going to end up chasing the score, and that’s exactly what happened against France.”

An early injury to starting prop Ranon Fouche didn’t help the SA U18s’ cause, but Lynch, who offered no excuses for the defeat, was happy that the changes they made to the team bore fruit in the second half.

“Yes, our performance in the second half was much better, but by then it was almost too late and we had to chase the game,” he said.

“I was happy to see more spark from the players and we scored some great individual tries. We will now look to build our confidence off the way we finished the game and prepare accordingly for England.

“Apart from preparing the players – all of whom are part of SA Rugby’s Elite Player Development pathway – for matches, we also have to expose them to the pressure of international rugby, as that is where the selectors can distinguish between players who can make the necessary step up as they progress into the next phase of their development.”

Lynch will name his team for Saturday’s match later in the week. The final round of the U18 International Series takes place at Paarl Boys High School’s Brug Street fields on Saturday. France take on the WP XV at 13h00 and the match between South Africa and England is scheduled for 15h00. Both encounters will be streamed live on SuperSport Schools.

Xola Nyali (flanker) has been handed the captaincy as the South African Under-18 team prepare for their U18 International Series opener against France at Stellenberg High School in Durbanville, north of Cape Town, on Tuesday afternoon.

Nyali captained Western Province at the U18 Craven Week at the end of June and played for SA Schools against their ‘A’ team counterparts last month. Ian van der Merwe has been named vice-captain by SA U18 coach Katleho Lynch for the match against France, which kicks off at 15h00.

Lynch said the players were raring to go and that he was excited to see what this group can offer after the players delivered a spectacle in Wellington a month ago when the two SA Schools sides squared off.

“We are really looking forward to the series against France and England as there is no better way to give the boys the best possible experience of what it’s like playing at international level,” said Lynch.

“We’ve done some squad rotation and mixing and matching of players in positions and the main thing will now be to see what we’ve been working on the last couple of weeks come to fruition and executed at test level.

“I have no doubt that we have some great talent in South Africa, it’s now just a matter of putting it to the test and executing under pressure in an international match situation.”

Lynch was dealt a late blow when Divan Fuller (loose forward) was forced to withdraw from the squad, with his WP team-mate Riley Norton earning a call-up.

Earlier on Tuesday, the England U18s will face a Western Province XV (13h00). The U18 International Series concludes at Paarl Boys’ High’s Brug Street fields on Saturday when South Africa take on England (15h00), preceded by the match between France and the WP XV (13h00).

The bulk of the SA Schools teams were included in a 26-player SA U18 squad for next month's U18 International Series against France and England.

Eighteen players who featured for the SA Schools team in their 36-26 victory over the SA Schools ‘A’ in Wellington two weeks ago were selected, while five members of the ‘A’ team impressed the selectors enough to also make the cut.

Furthermore, Gino Cupido and Marno Stopforth, who are in the SA U18 Sevens team for the Commonwealth Youth Games early next month and were not considered for the Schools’ game, have also been included. They will join the squad upon their return from Trinidad & Tobago.

Thando Biyela, who has been part of SA Rugby’s Elite Player Development programme but did not feature in the SA Schools game, comes into the squad as a utility forward with good lineout and leadership skills.

SA Schools head coach Katleho Lynch has been re-appointed as SA U18 head coach and will again be assisted by James Winstanley, while the Junior Springbok coaches, Bafana Nhleko and Lumumba Currie, will also be involved.

The series will kick off with a match between England and France at Boland Landbou. The second round will see the SA U18s take on France, while England will face a WP Invitational team, at Stellenberg High School. The final round is at Paarl Boys High School where SA will play England, and France will take on the WP side.
