Siya Kolisi paid tribute to the way the Springboks “chased lost causes” after a sensational comeback World Cup quarter-final victory over tournament hosts France on Sunday night.
“France asked a lot of questions of us, but the character we showed stood out. We had a clear plan on what we needed to do, especially at the breakdown, and we had to fight for one another, especially in the last eight minutes of the yellow card. I’m proud of the guys and the discipline they showed.”
“Their team has been building for four years and we knew it would take everything ,” Kolisi added. “For a leader like Antoine to come back and to play the way he did was good. “We scrambled a lot, especially when we were short of numbers,” Kolisi explained. We talk about chasing lost causes as a group, we don’t give up until they put the ball down over the tryline. We worked together as a team.
