Springbok captain Siya Kolisi knows they will have to put in a “strong effort” to over England in their final Castle Lager Outgoing Tour clash at Twickenham on Saturday.

South Africa will come into this clash high in confidence after they thrashed Italy 63-21 in Genoa last weekend.

In the last two meetings between the two teams, the Boks suffered two defeats against England, with their last victory against them coming in 2014.

South Africa will now be hoping for a different outcome when they face off at the Twickenham Stadium in London on Saturday.

“2019 was a long time ago,” said Kolisi.

“A lot of the guys that were there then are no longer here, so this match is different. We can’t look at that as motivation.

“We lost here last year, so we don’t have to look too far. This is a new group of players and we are want to make the country proud.”

Kolisi added that the tempo of the game with play a crucial role after witnessing England staging a comeback to register a 25-25 draw against New Zealand.

“We all saw how they came back last week, so we know how big this challenge is going to be,” said Kolisi.

“That said, all we can focus on is our intensity and how we start the game. We know it will take a strong 80-minute effort.”
