According to Ngcobo, the potential accomplishment of these goals will ensure the Blitzboks stay on the path to their long-term objective for the season, which is to qualify for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.

In his playing days, Ngcobo made his Blitzbok debut in New Zealand in 2016, but back then the tournament was still held in Wellington. Seven years ago, South Africa came agonisingly close to winning the title in the Kiwi capital, only to be pipped at the post by a last-minute try in the final against the hosts.

“It’s my first time in Hamilton, but some of the guys have great memories from coming to New Zealand, although there are a few sour recollections too,” said Ngcobo.

“We all know New Zealand is a proper rugby nation, and it’s not easy coming here and getting a victory, but our slogan is ‘no excuses’ and we’re here to get the job done.”
