Altitude is not that much of a factor for a top sportsman, it is more the pschological effect. If you think about it, some of SA’s entrenched players eg: John Smit, Jean de Villiers, Paulse, Russell, Venter, van den Berg, Burger, etc all play for provincial teams on the coast.

Does that mean that they are affected just like the international teams? Rubbish it is all pschological and in real terms does not relate to 10 points on the field.

It is probable that influence of the crowds influences the opposition more.

I don’t understand why any team doesn’t train at alititude for an upcoming match at altitude?

Is there a logic to bringing them in the day before?

Quite a statistic that they have only beaten us twice in SA. Seems the bars and girls (and guys) have the better of this bunch and not the altitude.
P.S. thanks Ig for finally getting me up and running.

one of the reasons why we lost in pretoria after leading at half time was our preparation.

Maybe we can now start working on the idea that travelling is not our biggest problem when we get thrashed in the S14…

yep, i don’t see the point of travelling the day before a game. a rare bad idea from the brain of Rod Macqueen.

I think he is right i always felt that altitude was more an issue in the heads of the players than anything else even though we usually beat the ozzies on the highveld its usually the boks holding on at the end of the game than the ozzies so clearly altitude isnt the reason for the poor results perhaps making it a non issue may help them.
