Kolisi hails second-half Bok performance, thanks fans after last home game of year

Springbok captain Siya Kolisi expressed his gratitude to South Africans for their support after the Boks secured a 29-24 victory over the All Blacks in Soweto. The win extended the Springboks' lead to 2-1 in the Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry Series. The team improved significantly in the second half, turning a 12-all halftime score into a 29-17 advantage in the final 10 minutes.

Kolisi acknowledged the All Blacks' strong first-half performance but credited the crowd's support for lifting the team's spirits. The Springboks will face the All Blacks in a final Test in Baltimore, USA, followed by a one-off Test in Australia and the Nations Championship in Europe.
