Rassie Erasmus Opens Up: Will Siya Kolisi Reach Springboks’ 100th Test Against France?
Springboks coach Rassie Erasmus addressed Kolisi’s road to 100 Tests. He explained that emotional decisions often influence player selections. Erasmus admitted he and Kolisi share a strong friendship and deep mutual trust.
However, rugby demands balance between sentiment and strategy. For example, he highlighted Makazole Mapimpi’s situation. Mapimpi stands on 47 caps, and Erasmus wants him to reach 50 soon. These milestones matter, yet they cannot dictate planning too much. Erasmus warned that focusing on appearances risks losing crucial matches.
For Kolisi, his 100th Test could arrive against France, or perhaps later. Erasmus stressed that the exact location or opponent is secondary. What matters most is celebrating the achievement when it finally arrives.
His approach underscores team goals before personal milestones. Still, Erasmus confirmed that when Kolisi reaches the landmark, the squad will honour it fully. The coach’s words show balance between respect for history and focus on performance.
