Not to give my best would be cheating, says Kolisi
Updated | By Mapaballo Borotho
Springbok captain Siya Kolisi has described the ability to inspire people from different walks of like as a privilege.
The two-time Rugby World Cup winner addressed the media on Saturday after the Boks secured their second successive Webb Ellis trophy.
South Africa beat New Zealand 12-11 in the final in Paris.
"South Africa is a beautiful country with a lot of problems, but once we come together for a common goal, nothing can stop us," Kolisi said.
"And it is not just in sports but life in general. A lot of people in our team come from different backgrounds, and most of us never thought we would be here today, we come from different walks of life but what brings us together is our country.
"The motivation from home and our families got us through the toughest days. For us, we do not have to look far for motivation, and for me not to give my 100% in that field, would be cheating all these people," he added.
