South Africa's assistant coach, Mzwandile Stick, is filled with hope and determination as the national rugby team faces New Zealand.
South Africa’s rugby team can provide their hard-pressed compatriots back home with “a bit of light” by beating New Zealand to win a historic fourthThe two great rivals meet at the Stade de France on Saturday — 28 years after their previous meeting in a final.
“Every kid just wanted to be Joel Stransky –- I was called ‘Township Stransky’ — or James Small and these guys. “The legacy those guys –- Joel Stransky, Francois Pienaar — left made it possible for us to be where we are at the moment.”Stick said he hoped many black players would follow the path of current skipper Siya Kolisi, the first black Test captain of the Springboks.
“It is like a fairytale story when you talk about Siya, but it surely does change people’s lives, whatever their background, if you have your head in the right place, if you have a goal and keep chasing it.”
