œ We had so much to play for as a team and I think like Jacques said, lot of people have a lot to say and we want people to engage- people are allowed to have opinion and criticize as a team because we know they can and its important but we had a plan the players knew, the whole squad knew what was the plan at first two games, you know we always wanna learn while winning. It was a pity that we didn™t win last week and yah we stuckked to the plan this week and we treated it like a final kolisi told the media.

It was also a big day for other key members of the team, lock Eben Etzebeth and hooker Bongi Mbonambi who were celebrating their 100th and 50th Springbok caps on the day.

Kolisi said they had to make this victory special for the two teammates and he is œgrateful how they didn™t make it about themselves, but they wanted the team to win first.

The Boks™ next game will be in the Rugby Championship against the All Blacks in Mbombela on the sixth of next month. Nienaber is fully aware of the competitive nature of the games now, as proven by the All-Blacks™ loss at home to Ireland yesterday.
