SA Rugby Director of Rugby Rassie Erasmus and Springboks captain Siya Kolisi addressing the media ahead of their clash against France in Marseille on Saturday night.Springbok coach Siya Kolisi and SA Rugby director of rugby Rassie Erasmus said physicality and sticking to their structures would be vital when they line up against France in Marseille on Saturday night.
“We were waiting on Jasper to pass the required concussion protocols and given the late decision, we thought it made sense to select Deon on the bench,” said Erasmus. On the challenge France poses, Erasmus said: “They kick a lot, and they have a lot of belief in what they do. They also have a good coach and young team that remains steady when things go well or not, so it is going to be a good test for us.”
Kolisi added: “France’s game plan has definitely changed over the years. They kick more and they save their energy to play in your half. “Playing against France on their home patch a year before the World Cup is good for us all because everyone will get a taste of what it will be like next year,” said Kolisi.
