“The coaches shared a few clips and videos with us about the support and excitement back home, and it’s incredible,” said Cheslin Kolbe.“Some of the videos brought tears to our eyes. There are people at home making plans and pulling things together to be able to watch the match, and we are humbled by that. Hopefully we can go out there and make the country proud.
“Not many teams get to play in a World Cup final and this is massive, especially if one takes where we come from and what South Africa has been through. It shows what the country and this jersey means to us. Our job now is to ensure that we are focused and ready both physically and mentally on matchday.”The Springboks must overcome their greatest rivals, the All Blacks, to clinch a fourth Rugby World Cup with the New Zealanders chasing the same milestone.
