And yet another good interview with Cockerill.
“There’s no talent in effort, is there?,” the coach continued when asked how he was able to get evoke such strength of character from his players. “There’s just a choice: you can choose to stay in the fight or you can choose to give up. I only want players that want to choose to stay in the fight. Whether you’re young or experienced, world class or just a good club player, there’s no monopoly on effort.
“All I want is for Murray McCallum or Lewie Carmichael or whoever, Gilchrist, Du Preez or any of those senior guys – maximum effort all the time. Let’s see where it gets us. If I keep driving that it will become second nature and there will come a point where I don’t have to mention it at half-time, or before the game.”
