Kolbe savours special Cape Town triumph but warns Springboks must keep feet on the ground
Cheslin Kolbe says the Springboks could feel the disappointment in South Africa after their Ellis Park defeat and were determined to put things right in Cape Town.
Cheslin Kolbe savoured the special triumph of the Springboks over New Zealand in Cape Town, but warned that the team must remain grounded. The victory came after a disappointing loss to the All Blacks at Ellis Park the previous week. Kolbe, born in Cape Town and starting his rugby career there, called the occasion "massive" given his personal connection to the city.
The team had to maintain their focus despite the negative atmosphere following their loss. Kolbe, who has been developing his goal-kicking throughout his professional career, played a key role in the win. He credited his Japanese club coaches for helping refine his technique. Kolbe cautioned the Springboks to stay humble after such a significant win, emphasizing the need for continuous improvement against the strong All Blacks.
