Captain Siya Kolisi says the Springboks will go “as hard as we can” in next Saturday’s Rugby Championship match against Argentina at Twickenham.
The Boks thrashed Los Pumas 67-30 in Durban to move top of the log with one round remaining.
Kolisi said he was pleased with how the team responded after a tight first half.
“We expected a tough start,” he told SuperSport. “We knew what Argentina were going to bring, they are a proud team, still in the competition. They took their opportunities in the first half when we made our mistakes.
“The way we gathered ourselves was impressive, no one dropped their heads and we bounced back.”

The Boks led 25-23 at the break before pulling away in the second half.
“The main message at half time was that we were making stupid errors and giving away momentum,” said Kolisi. “In the second half we came back composed.”

The Bok captain said the focus would quickly shift to Twickenham.
“We know how tough it is going to be next week. We have been here before. The job is not finished yet. Next week we are going to go at it as hard as we can and make sure we win the competition.”
