Springbok skipper Siya Kolisi has dismissed talk that the world champions are the favourites to win the 2022 Rugby Championship opener against the embattled All Blacks in Nelspruit on Saturday.
In 2014, Pat Lambie held his cool to slot a long-range winner at Ellis Park to give the Boks their first win against the All Blacks since 2011, and“We cannot control what happens in the All Blacks camp, but we can control what we do,” Kolisi added. “We’ve been in a situation before where we lost two matches in a row, and what we learned is that it takes one game to kick-start a team, so we do not see ourselves as favourites at all.
“These games are massive. They are one of the biggest in the rugby world. So, as a team we would like to execute our game plan effectively, and the team that does it the best for 80 to 82 minutes, will be the best.”
