Pollard slotted the conversion to put the Boks 13-10 ahead, and then veteran Morné Steyn kicked two late penalties to round off a 2-1 series victory.
“Chessie is one of those people who doesn’t need a lot of opportunities. He makes sure that he uses the opportunity that he gets,” Kolisi said in the post-match press conference.“But I’ve got to give it to the guys that won the scraps and for being alert there. That’s where it started for us, and then Willie – people can say so many things about him.
“But he is one of the quickest assists in the team, so well done to Chessie and all those guys at the back.”Kolbe was chosen as the Man of the Match, and said in a TV interview with SuperSport: “I’m just so happy for the boys. We knew it wasn’t going to be easy, but you know what, us as South Africans at home, we have pride and we want to honour those that have been here.
“It was just an honour and a privilege for me to wear this jersey, play with these great players. I’m just humbled to receive this, but it goes to each and every player, management. I’m just thankful. “Once those opportunities , we must make sure we capitalise on that. Mapimpi did that last week, and I got the opportunity through the hard work of the boys on the inside to exploit the opportunity that was on the outside, and to get over the white line.”
