JOHANNESBURG : South Africa captain Siya Kolisi says there will be no better way for Wales to bounce back from their shock Six Nations loss to Italy in March than to beat the Springboks in front of 52,000 fans at Loftus Versfeld in Pretoria on Saturday.
But Kolisi will not write off the tourists' chances and says the Springboks were in a similar position just a few years before they lifted the 2019 Rugby World Cup when they slipped to number seven in the world rankings. "They are in a tough situation, but that can bring a side together. What better way to get out of a hole than to beat the number one team in the world?"
"They don’t stop for 80 minutes, we know that as a team," he said."They will stand up to us physically. When you have the opportunities, you have to take them.
