ONLY THE GAME MATTERS

SPRINGBOKS: RASSIE SAYS MILESTONES TAKE BACKSEAT UNTIL AFTERWARDS

- Nicholas Zaal

Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus said the team will make minimal fuss publicly about Siya Kolisi’s 100th Test cap, and he himself wasn't aware of his 50th match in charge of the national side until a few days ago.

Instead, the team will recognise the milestones in their private function after the Test against France at Stade de France tomorrow night.

“When those big milestones come, if you make them bigger than the match, you tend to come second in that match,” Erasmus said after naming his team yesterday.
