'Don’t be fooled by easygoing Dave Rennie': Robbie Fleck predicts physical battle with All Blacks
Former Springbok Robbie Fleck knows Dave Rennie well and says South Africans should not be fooled by the All Blacks coach’s relaxed demeanour.
Former Stormers coach Dave Rennie's easygoing demeanor can fool South Africans, predicts former All Black Robbie Fleck. In a recent interview, Fleck warned the Springboks not to underestimate the All Blacks' physical style of play during the four-Test series. Fleck, who has worked closely with Rennie, described his coaching style as intense, physical, and focused on ball in hand attacking.
He emphasized that physicality is the key ingredient in Rennie's game, comparing it to "brutality." Fleck believes Rennie's side will become increasingly aggressive as the series progresses, especially if they sense any weakness from the Springboks. The All Blacks will face a tough challenge, according to Fleck, due to the size and physical presence of the New Zealand squad, which Rennie has specifically selected to counter the Springboks.
