Kolisi confident that the Springboks will win the Greatest Rivalry

The Springboks will face the All Blacks in the fourth test of Rugby's Greatest Rivalry

Springboks captain Siya Kolisi is confident that his team will win the Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry series against the All Blacks. The Boks are in Baltimore, United States, for the fourth test and have the opportunity to secure the series victory. Kolisi described the challenge as "like playing four Rugby World Cup finals in as many weeks," emphasizing the intense nature of the upcoming matches.

The All Blacks, however, could force a draw, resulting in a shared trophy. Kolisi is anticipating a new-look All Black team, particularly with the return of Richie Mo’unga at flyhalf after three years. Mo’unga's presence is expected to bring a fresh dynamic to the series. Kolisi stated, "We are growing and learning on the go because it is a tough series playing the same opposition four times.

It’s tricky because they get to know you and you get to know them, so you have to find other things, other ways and weaknesses in them, but now we are playing almost a new team."

Kolisi acknowledged that the series has been hard on the body, but his team remains determined to secure a winning series.
