Springbok captain Siya Kolisi has stopped well short of hanging the success or failure of their international season on what transpires on their end-of-year tour to the UK.
The Springboks kick off their tour in the Principality Stadium against Wales on Saturday hoping to still be buoyed by their win over the All Blacks at the back end of the Rugby Championship.
“It has been a year with ups and downs,” conceded Kolisi. “We take confidence from our last game but we know this is a different challenge. We are really focused on this one game against Wales because they need all our attention.” Kolisi stressed the importance of starting this tour, which also has stops in Edinburgh and London, on a sound footing.
Wales' recent record in the Principality Stadium against the Springboks has made them many pundits' favourites. Their virtues are also recognised in the Bok camp.
