“It has been a rollercoaster of a season, especially with the Stormers and then coming into the Springboks, and the tough game against the All Blacks,” Kitshoff told the media.

“I think one is never happy with your form, you’re always building and trying to improve every week and chasing those one-percenters. For me, it’s growing and staying involved and learning from the management and other players and trying to improve every weekend.”

It is more than just the culmination of a year though, with a large group working together across many seasons towards the goal of Rugby World Cup glory.

“We still have a big job to do … we have two more Test matches building up to the World Cup. We realise there’s a lot of hard work to be done until the end of the World Cup,” he said.

“There’s a lot of pressure, and trying to defend the trophy is never easy, so we realise there’s going to be a lot of work, and luckily we still have a couple of prep games building up to the Test match against Scotland.

“We realise all the teams have improved, we’ve seen the quality of international rugby over the last weeks. We realise it’s going to take a massive effort; rugby is a team sport, and we need the buy-in of every player mentally and physically to get to that top performing level.”
