Back in harness for the Springboks are the likes of Cheslin Kolbe, Pieter-Steph du Toit, Eben Etzebeth, captain Siya Kolisi, Damian de Allende, all of whom are two-time world champions ... and Manie Libbok. But the Springboks don’t want to rely on another late goalkick, but pursue a dominant win to cap a championship they have led since day one, Aug. 10.
Etzebeth debuted in mid-2012 against England at age 20. Former Boks coach Nick Mallett praised Etzebeth for combining the qualities of Matfield and another great lock, Bakkies Botha.
