💨 Abstract

Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus has announced that Siya Kolisi will start at No 8 in the upcoming Rugby Championship match against Australia. This decision comes despite Kolisi's usual role at openside flank, as Erasmus noted that Kolisi's play style at No 8 allows more strategic flexibility, particularly in scrums and at the breakdown where Kolisi excels. The team lineup was revealed at Monday's press conference.
