Veteran Springbok wing Cheslin Kolbe says there is always room for improvement and to learn about the game.
The two-time World Cup winner says the new young players in the national team have brough energy into the squad.
He may be something of a veteran in the team, a seasoned pro who’s won two World Cup winners’ medals, but Cheslin Kolbe says he is still learning about rugby and the youngsters in the current Springbok set-up are showing him a few new “tricks”. “I’ve been given the license to be myself, and play what’s in front of me, but I’m still learning,” Kolbe told“I always have to come up with something new because teams are analysing me but it’s all about growing, and this season is no different.”
He added: “You’d swear they’ve been in the team for five years. Their composure, and how well they remain calm under pressure are impressive. They have a lot of new tricks, and I’m trying to grab as much and stay on par with them,” he concluded., to rest and recover for the remainder of the international season. He admitted that while the Boks have performed well so far in the Rugby Championship the job was not done.
