Expect more box-kicks from the Springboks against the All Blacks – but perhaps not inside the opposition 22. That seemed to be the gist of the message from captain Siya Kolisi.
“Our game plan gets us to where we want to be, and I think all we need to do is to just take those opportunities when we get there. So, we are not going to change our game plan, but we will look in front of us and take the opportunities in front of us, because that is why we do what we do – to get into positions where we can play rugby,” the No 6 flank said.“If you look at the World Cup, we did the same thing, and that’s how we scored our tries.
“That’s where our kicking game gets us to, and now where we are failing, we are just not taking those opportunities when we worked to get to a perfect position, and then we don’t take those opportunities.“That’s what we need to do. That’s what we looked at as a team – it’s that, keep on doing what we are doing, but if the opportunity comes, no matter where it is, we take it, because they are not going to be presented all the time.
