Springbok captain , Siya Kolisi has reiterated that his side will be up against very capable breakdown specialists, when South Africa takes on Italy in Turin on the third stop of the end of year tour on Saturday afternoon.
Kolisi also laid out that it was important for players to pitch up for Italy if they want to be considered for the following weeks crunch fixture against Ireland in Dublin.
It is not only last week but when we played them in South Africa as well it was one of the big things that they were good at against us we struggled in the first game and that was one of the big reasons why it was hard for us to win that game so we know how good they are we have done our homework and we are going to have to make sure that we look after it properly this weekend, we all want to play against Ireland and this is the opportunity for us to show what we are capable of doing as a team so everybody wants to put their hand up and we know how hard this game is going to be against us and the boys are keen.
