The mood in the camp is positive with over 40 players scrapping for places on the final team. The Tuesday evening session was evidence that every player is desperate to impress and make the cut.
“ everyone is pumped up because he (Beukes) is teaching us many new things that we all want to learn in order to better our game as a unit” Cranes captain Brian Odongo led the plaudits.
