The Proteas registered a hard-fought 46-33 win on Saturday to complete the whitewash but Kotze believes the three-match series was a great workout.
“We’re obviously very happy with the three nil it’s definitely what we aimed for,” Kotze told Sapa. “We’ve hunted it. Going back to the world No 5 spot is a good position to enter our next challenge
“As you saw, every game was a bit more difficult because I always believe that the chasers have a lot to prove. Scotland gave us a good series. It wasn’t one-sided, it was competitive.”
Kotze believes the physical encounters against the Scottish side will prepare the team for similar clashes when the Commonwealth Games get underway in Glasgow next month.
“I’m glad they were physical because that it was we will experience right through the Commonwealth Games,” she said. “It’s basically the survival of the fittest when they go onto the ball. It’s important that the Spar Proteas absorb it and that they deal with it and survive it.
“It was wonderful preparation for Commonwealth. The more international court time we get, the better. It’s a totally different level between playing internationally and in local leagues.
“It is another step up, not only physically, but also mentally.”
