“They will be dangerous because we know how it feels to lose a few games in a row and what it took to turn things up again,” stated Kolisi.

“We lost a few on the trot in Australia before, and such a situation can definitely pull a team together. They are also playing at home and will have their home crowd behind them, so we they’ll be geared up for the challenge.”

High requirements

Zooming in on their very own sport, Kolisi stated: “We want to rectify our record here as a team (the Boks have lost three of their last four matches at the iconic stadium), and although we won last week (against Scotland), we have high standards, and it’s important for us to return to those standards as a group.”

In the World Cup semi-final many individuals didn’t give them an opportunity towards us, they usually caught folks without warning with the best way they performed in that match.

“When we are saying they’re determined, it definitely isn’t unfavorable, we imply they’ll have extra motivation. They’ve named a top quality staff, they usually have a robust kicking sport, so if we aren’t at our greatest, they’ll beat us.

“They’re playing at the Allianz Stadium in front of 85 000 fans, so we cannot afford to be less than our best because we know it’s going to take an 80-minute effort, so we cannot switch off.”

“The solely solution to thank them is by our performances on the sphere, so we at all times wish to go on the market and provides our greatest.

“We also have immense support at home with people watching matches on television and at malls. Our people keep us accountable and give us hope because it gives us something greater to play for than the team.”

With prop Wilco Louw set to change into the fiftieth participant to expire within the inexperienced and gold jersey this season on Saturday, Kolisi praised head coach Rassie Erasmus for staying true to the plan which he set out in 2018 and stated it might set the staff in good stead going ahead.

“When Rassie took over (the job) in 2018, he said his plan was based around three elements – winning, transforming the team, and building squad depth,” stated Kolisi.

“To see Wilco become the 50th player to take the field for the team this year while Rassie has been rotating the squad and we’ve been able to win most of matches is something to be proud of, and ensures that looking forward, if there are injuries we have a wealth of players who can step in at any time.”
