At 7am in South Africa, Hawks players were up and into training on day seven of pre-season camp.

Despite it being Sunday in South Africa, there was no rest for the players who were split into three groups for boxing outside and skills and touch inside.

The boxing element was conducted at the Stellenbosch Academy on Sport while skills and touch were held inside an elite indoor training center, the Paul Roos Gymnasium, which is named after the first ever South African rugby captain.

At the conclusion of the session, the players enjoyed some lunch before massage and the afternoon off to rest their tired bodies in preparation for Monday's big outdoor session.
