They are both quality leaders in their own right with the only difference, besides height, that Kolisi is a world champion, having led the Springboks to Rugby World Cup glory in Japan two years ago, while Bavuma is still on a quest to conquer the globe with the Proteas. SA arrived in Dubai on Monday and began fine-tuning their preparations ahead of the tournament to be hosted by the United Arab Emirates from October 17.
Bavuma’s team have a warm-up match against Afghanistan on October 18 and will start their World Cup campaign against Australia in Abu Dhabi on October 23. The 31-year-old said he has not had enough time to chat with 30-year-old Kolisi to get pointers on what it takes to win a world event and how to deal with the pressure that comes with being a leader.
