South Africa World Cup winner Lukhanyo Am, who captains a shadow Springbok side against British & Irish Lions on Wednesday, says a week isolating in a hotel room was from ideal preparation for the test series but has allowed several players to get over injury.
Am was one of the key performers when they won the 2019 World Cup and has been rewarded with the captaincy of South Africa A, who will take on Lions in Cape Town on Wednesday.He is among 18 World Cup winners in the match day squad as South Africa use the guise of the ‘A’ team to give the Springboks much needed preparation after a week cloistered in their hotel in self isolation following an outbreak of positive COVID-19 cases. Fourteen members of their 46-man squad returned positive tests.
“That’s pretty much the preparations we could do but I think, on the other hand, we go into this game fresh with guys who had niggles and injury having had enough time to recover,” Am told a news conference on Tuesday.Advertisement
