Boks must be better this weekend, says Kolisi
Springbok captain Siya Kolisi says the team has been working hard to convert their point-scoring chances into points and to break out of the blocks quickly.
The Springboks suffered slow starts in their last two matches against Australia and New Zealand.
“It has been a tough week coming off last weekend’s result, but we’ve prepared as well as possible this week,” said Kolisi.
“We left a lot of opportunities out on the field in Adelaide, and we are hurting as a team, so we know we need to make sure we play better this week. We’ve pointed fingers at ourselves, and it has certainly been an emotional week for us.”

The Springbok flanker added: “As a team we understand our South African fans’ frustration and we accept that they are upset. We feel the same frustration and we would like to urge them not to give up on us. We’ve worked hard this week at training, and we’ll do our best this weekend.
“We certainly want to be as consistent as possible, and we know that we need to start this match with more intent. We must be better this weekend or else we will be out of the Castle Lager Rugby Championship race.”
