South Africa’s national men’s rugby team has made history by securing back-to-back victories in the Castle Lager Rugby Championship.
The Springboks beat Argentina 29 – 27 when they faced off for the second time at Twickenham in London on Saturday, 4 October.
Following the historic win, Springboks captain Siya Kolisi said the team has done a lot for the country, and he is proud of the group and the coaches.
“They always come up with new ideas, and as players, we adapt and accept that.
“This Castle Lager Rugby Championship was tough, and anyone could have won it, so to be able to lift the trophy for the second time in a row is amazing for us and the country, and we are very grateful for all the support from all the fans at the stadium and from our people at home.”
Coach Rassie Erasmus said he knew it would be tough and at halftime one could see the Boks were tired, but at the same time Argentina played well.
“They played a loose game, and we got a yellow card in the first half, while there were also a few close calls that could have changed the game. But they definitely showed massive fight and that they can really take things to the gutters.”
