Louw still believes Springboks can win World Cup
Springbok flanker Francois Louw still believes his country can win the Rugby World Cup, despite losing to Japan.
The shock loss at the weekend was a major setback for the two-time world champions.
“I think we are in a position where we have to feel confident about that (winning the World Cup),” Louw said.
“We need to pull together. We know what needs to be done. I believe we have the ability to pull back together, to pull tight, to look forward and deflect any negativity.
“We’ve hit a bit of a stumbling block. It’s time to regroup and pull together in a positive way. Our focus is to climb the pool and finish top.
“It’s still in our hands, still in our grasp to go through the pool games and qualify for the play-offs.
“You want to finish top of your pool to get a better draw in the play-offs.”
