Cheslin Kolbe is delighted with the history-making tour of Australia, but isn’t getting complacent ahead of the home Tests against the All Blacks.A 33-7 tournament-opening win in Brisbane saw the Springboks claim their first victory at a sold-out Suncorp Stadium since 2013, and the world champions followed that up by claiming back-to-back wins over the Wallabies in Australia for the first time since 1971 in Perth.
Although delighted with the team’s start to the southern hemisphere spectacle, Kolbe said that the job is far from done. “We are very excited that we could build on last week’s result, and it was particularly pleasing with all the players getting opportunities to play,” said Kolbe. “It was special, but there’s a lot more to come. We certainly couldn’t have asked for a better start in the competition especially winning two games away from home, but we have to progress as the competition goes on.”It will be the first time that the rivals face off since the 2023 World Cup final, when the Boks held out for a 12-11 win in Paris.
“We’ll keep our feet on the ground and continue working hard in the weeks leading up to the games against New Zealand in South Africa which is going to be massive,” said Kolbe. “As a team we are looking forward giving back in South Africa at the packed stadiums.
