Springboks captain Siya Kolisi has revealed how they will approach their game against the All Blacks at FNB Stadium tomorrow. It’s been a tough tour so far as the greatest rugby nations have given each other equal blows. It was the visitors who won the first match, 33-16, in their first test game. However, the Springboks found themselves at DHL Stadium and won 33- 26.
Now that the Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry is going into its third game, the pressure mounts on each team. Also, fans are now watching closely as the tour comes to its end. Whoever is in the rivalry would be the world number 1 in the rankings.
Surely, a lot of pride and bragging rights are at stake, and the Springboks captain is so sure of it.

“I think the same mindset we had last week, we will have the same, but we just want to make sure that we take our opportunities better than we did in the previous game.” Siya continued to show greater hunger for the win.
“The way we play is built for any weather”, he finished, showing his confidence in the Springboks team.
