COMEBACK: 'PEOPLE OF SOUTH AFRICA ARE OUR NUMBER ONE MOTIVATION'

Springbok captain Siya Kolisi was almost at a loss for words at the support for the Boks after his team made a stirring comeback to beat the All Blacks 31-27 in their Rugby Championship match at Ellis Park in Johannesburg on Saturday night.

The visitors produced arguably their best performance under coach Scott Robertson during the first 65 minutes of the match to lead 27-17, before two late tries from the hosts turned the match on its head and sent the sold-out crowd into delirium.

Straight after the game, kolisi was asked about the tremendous atmosphere in the stadium, with him seeming to struggle a bit with his emotions as the crowd drowned him out.
