The Spirit's Super Rugby parent, the Western Force, exploited the foreign
player concessions they have been managed when they had eight South Africans on
their books for the 2014 season. The move helped the Force's exceptional Super
Rugby crusade in which they posted a 9-7 record to complete eighth on the
stepping stool, only two focuses behind the sixth-set Highlanders, who secured
the last play-offs billet.
South African Rugby players Kevin Foote and Dave Wessels served as partners to Force
head coach Michael Foley and they assumed responsibility of the Spirit in the
inaugural release of the NRC. The pair have put their stamp on the Spirit's style of play with South
Africa's propensity for utilizing physicality and animosity on both sides of
the ball obvious in their 45-29 win over Melbourne Rising in last Saturday's
semi-last at AAMI Park.
Foote says the Spirit, who characteristic three of his kinsmen in their match
day squad to face City at Ballymore, have grasped the South African rugby
impact and he is certain Australian rugby can likewise profit.
He has said that we are truly physical. We revel in the rugby and
crushing it up a lot yet anything that is new and game brings a component and
what the South Africans have brought is power. We have learnt a considerable measure from the Australian way and
assuredly we can include something. I think the mixture and combo, alongside
the New Zealand society, has gone really well for the Force and Spirit.
