JOIN NICK, JAKE AND JOHAN BREAKFAST!
CorporateSport has secured the presence of three very astute rugby brains for our last breakfast in Johannesburg for this year, as we look back on how the Springboks have developed over the season and how things are shaping up for a huge in-coming New Zealand tour next year and of course the RWC in Australia in 2027.
Jake White won the RWC in 2007 after taking over a very young and inexperienced squad in 2004. Nick Mallett coached the Boks to a record 17-game unbeaten run in 1997 and 1998 and guided the Springboks to a RWC semi-final spot in 1999. He also coached Italy from 2007 to 2011. Johan Ackermann (who won 13 Springboks caps) coached the very successful Lions side from 2013 to 2017 before coaching in England and Japan. He has just been appointed Bulls head coach. Prior to joining the Bulls, he consulted to the Junior Springboks who won the U20 RWC in July after a 13-year wait. Clearly, SA Rugby see Ackermann playing a key role in the future of Springbok rugby as he got close-up exposure to a very talented bunch of youngsters.
All three coaches bring a tremendous amount of coaching acumen and experience to the party. Previous breakfasts we have hosted with the trio have shown that they will not be shy questioning each other and debating the tactics, selections and strategy employed by the current Springbok coaching team under Rassie Erasmus. And there is the added dynamic that Johan replaced Jake at the Bulls! Both have assured us they will keep it tidy up on stage! Whether they will even get a word in with Mallett beside them is debatable!
So, if you have not yet planned your year-end function, why not thank your key clients for their valuable support this year as we enjoy a fantastic rugby morning for the true rugby connoisseur, as we look back on a huge building season for the Springboks, three days before their final European tour game against Wales.
Matthew Pearce will add his own astute rugby knowledge and inside perspective as the MC for the morning.
