Springboks Captain Siya Kolisi is looking forward to leading his team in front of his home crowd, in Port Elizabeth.

The Boks and the Wallabies will meet in the penultimate Castle Championship match at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

This will be Kolisi’s first match in his home town of Port Elizabeth as a Springboks captain, and will coincide with the Nelson Mandela centenary celebrations.

Kolisi is confident that they will win this game.

“We understand how big it is. The nice thing about this, I think the team knows the most important thing is to win and that is what we have been focusing on to make sure, and you know, if we win everything (that) will be more special. The main thing this weekend is to make sure we perform properly.”
