Siya Kolisi spearheaded an impressive win against Italy, but the Springbok captain will only be satisfied if South Africa backs it up with a clinical performance against England at Twickenham.
The Springboks put a poor conversion rate in the past when they ran in nine tries against Italy in a sensational showing in Genoa on Saturday afternoon.
“I thought our outside backs were outstanding today, especially Kurt-Lee,” added the Bok coach. “We’ve got lots of exciting outside backs, when you think we also have Makazole Mapimpi and Canan Moodie. There’s nice competition there, with S’bu Nkosi as well.PICK YOUR BOK MVP! “We also enjoy the physical part of the game, and to get that balance right was important. That said, doing this once is not enough, we have to keep doing it.Making the performance even more impressive was the fact that the Boks endured a somewhat tough week, as both Pieter-Steph du Toit and Rassie Erasmus were handed suspensions.We showed Italy the respect that they deserve, and as I said on Friday, they’re a very different team to a few years ago.
