SAS 7s - Block 3 

The hustle continues as we continue into Block 3 of the SAS 7s programme this week. 

#sasrugby #sas7s #sevensrugby #7srugby #southafrica #rugbysouthafrica
SAS 7s x @sweat_1000 

As the boys prepare to head into their upcoming game block, we brought them out to SWEAT1000 for their game-changer. SWEAT, which stands for Specialized Weight Endurance Athletic Training, is about pushing limits. The ‘1000’ represents the calories burned in the 1-hour workout, integrating the best components of interval training, functional training, core stability work, athletic training, and agility training. 

Big thank you to the SWEAT1000 team and @andrewsweat1000 and @paulsweat1000 for the incredible experience!

The SAS 7s players are back in action this week with Block 2 in full swing! Here’s what Head Coach @chrisdry7 had to share after today’s dynamic session with the Blitzboks:

“Programme is going very well. Intensity is picking up. We are at a stage where we are combining training as well as conditioning. We had a good run-in with the @blitzboks this morning and we’re heavily focused to get some good structures and execution for the next block.”

✖️Bronco Test✖️

A true measure of endurance, mental and physical. The SAS standards are high and we’re raising the bar, pushing boundaries, and preparing these athletes to achieve peak performance.

Explosive Focus. 

#sasrugby #sasrii #sas7s #sevensrugby #7srugby #southafrica #rugbysouthafrica
All gas, no brakes📈

During the first week of the SAS 7s programme, players undergo various tests and evaluations. Testing at the beginning of the program provides a baseline assessment of each player’s fitness, skills, and performance levels. 

Speed testing is an important part of these assessments. Understanding each player’s speed, power, and agility is crucial. These insights provide valuable data on how quickly our athletes can generate force and propel themselves forward – skills vital in the dynamic, fast-paced nature of the game.

The hype is ramping up for our internationally renowned #sas7s programme starting on 31/07.

We're fired up and ready for the boys to start next week! Keep close watch on our socials for the kick-off⚡️

SASRIC ‘23 - STRENGTH & CONDITIONING🛠️

S&C sessions form an integral part of the SASRIC programme and go beyond just building physical strength.

These sessions instill a deep understanding of S&C principles in our young players. We focus on fostering proper techniques, emphasizing the importance of form and injury prevention.

We nurture a culture of discipline, dedication and passion for the game!

✖️Introducing Ernst Joubert: Head of SASRII✖️

With a formidable background as a powerful No 8, and the grandson of former Springbok Piet Malan, Joubert has left an indelible mark on the game.

Before joining SAS in 2017, Joubert made a name for himself as one of Brendan Venter's finest signings for Saracens. His commanding ball-carrying skills and nimble work at the line-out earned him recognition as one of the Premiership's top performers, even earning a spot on the player-of-the-season shortlist. As fate would have it, he stepped up to captain Saracens in the absence of the injured England lock Steve Borthwick, leading them to the Premiership final.

A natural leader both on and off the field, Joubert's transition to Saracens from the Lions showcased his determination and skill. Now, as part of the SAS coaching staff, Joubert brings his wealth of knowledge and experience to guide and inspire our players.

Run it. 

#sasrugby #sasrii #sas7s #sasric2023 #southafrica #rugbysouthafrica
A vital part of our SASRIC programme is the Rugby 101 sessions🔩

It’s not just about mastering the game; it’s about developing well-rounded players both on and off the field. In our Rugby 101 sessions, we delve into topics that go beyond the boundaries of the pitch. 

Understanding your value as a player to embracing education, nutrition, mental health, playing styles, the transition from junior to senior rugby, and life after rugby, we empower our boys with knowledge and insights that shape them holistically. 

Because we believe that true rugby excellence extends far beyond the game itself💪🏽
