Schalk Brits, the least conservative player in the Springbok team other than Willie le Roux, thinks South Africa will have to play a territorial game if they want to be successful at this month's Rugby World Cup in the UK. Ironic, isn't it? You would have expected Brits to preach the gospel of spreading the ball and running rugby.It's like taking clerical advice from George Best.The Springboks leave for London tonight on a quest to win their third World Cup.It might sound like Brits is parroting one of national coach Heyneke Meyer's dressing downs, but the hooker knows better than anyone else in the squad how to win tournaments in Britain, having won two premiership titles with Saracens since 2009."Unfortunately, and I know you don't want to hear this, you need to prepare for a territorial battle."Everybody likes to see the guys running with the ball, but over there if you make a mistake in your own half it equals three points," Brits, 34, said."You won't see too many 50-10 scores. It is going to be close."Aside from not making mistakes in your own half, you have to put pressure on the opposition to make mistakes in their half. That's one of the secrets of winning in the northern hemisphere."Leading up to the World Cup, Ireland played in the right places on the field and they put a lot of pressure on the opposition."Of the three hookers boarding the flight to Heathrow tonight, including Bismarck du Plessis and Adriaan Strauss, Brits is the one with the reputation of a loose forward, if not loose cannon, and the speed of a hare.He hasn't endeared himself to many Bok coaches in the past and admitted that he had given up on ever representing South Africa at a World Cup before Meyer threw him a bone ahead of Western Province hooker Scarra Ntubeni, the local favourite."I got disappointed quite a lot from an early age by not playing for the Springboks. So, my outlook was always to just enjoy the game, which is why I went to the UK, to experience something different," said Brits.But will Meyer use him?Brendan Venter, who consults technically to Saracens, certainly hopes he will."Schalk Brits is very special," Venter enthused. "You have no idea how good he was for Saracens in the past seven years."Brits concluded: "You want to have a massive impact and you want to win it. I know the conditions quite well and I know the northern hemisphere players."..
