We want to play winning rugby, no matter what it takes, says Kolisi

WHILE thousands of Joburg rugby fans watch from afar, more than 50 000 Durbanites are filling Kings Park this evening as the Springboks chase a historic milestone - defending their Rugby Championship title for the first time since the tournament began in 1996. Siya Kolisi's side, winners of last year's championship, face a fast-improving Argentine team in a match that could define their season and edge them closer to making history.

No Springbok team - not even Siya Kolisi's double world champions have managed to defend a Rugby Championship title since the tournament started in 1996.

The Boks have only won this title four times in 30 years, and now Kolisi's Boks are in strong contention to defend the title they won last year, but in their way is a tenacious Argentinean team that is the world's fastest improving side.
