JACQUES PREVIEW
South Africa head coach Jacques Nienaber had this to say in his pre-match press conference ahead of tonight’s clash:
“We’re pleased to be able to name a quality team with a number of experienced players despite the challenges in the last week.
“We may have lost our captain Siya [Kolisi], but there is a good leadership core within this group with the likes of Morne [Steyn], Willie [le Roux], Just [Etzebeth], Trevor [Nyakane] and Steven [Kitshoff], among others, whose experience will be invaluable in a match against a quality British & Irish Lions outfit.
“Players such as Joseph [Dweba] and Nicolaas [Janse van Rensburg] will also get their first taste of running out in the green and gold at senior level in what will mark a memorable occasion in their careers and we are excited to see them showcase their skills.”
