Heyneke Meyer has said he feels proud after guiding the Eagles to victory in the Currie Cup First Division, according to SA Rugby magazine.
The former Springboks coach described the triumph as an emotional one for the team, the publication reports. The Eagles secured the title with a win in the competition’s final round.
SA Rugby magazine notes that Meyer savoured the achievement, which marks a significant result for the side. The Eagles’ success in the First Division comes as other Currie Cup matches saw big wins for Boland and Griquas, as reported by SuperSport.com.
The Citizen also covered the weekend’s action, noting that four matches produced bonus-point results with plenty of tries. Rugby365, meanwhile, highlighted the form of Faf de Klerk and criticised the performance of the Stormers’ matchday 23 in its weekly hits and misses column.
The Eagles’ First Division title is a clear highlight for Meyer and his squad. Attention now turns to how the team builds on this result in future competitions.
