It was another early start for the Hawks on Wednesday as training kicked off at 7am at the Bafokeng Sports Campus in South Africa.

The players were met by much different conditions than the day previous, with the hot South African sun beaming down on the oval - in stark contrast to the gloomy and rain soaked campus of Tuesday.

Split into three groups, players completed boxing, bike and skills work during the session that lasted for approximately two hours.

Just after 9am, the players had breakfast before sitting in meetings and then more training in the afternoon, as they hit the gym to work on their upper body strength.

Is Ryan Schoenmakers keen to return in 2014? Absolutely. He's looking fit.
