Springbok captain Siya Kolisi said the team drew inspiration from their Soweto supporters after South Africa defeated New Zealand in the third Test to take a 2-1 lead in the rugby series. Kolisi and head coach Rassie Erasmus reflected on the emotional significance of playing in Soweto, describing the atmosphere and crowd energy as a motivating factor in the victory, according to TimesLIVE Sport. The result puts the Springboks ahead in the closely contested series.

South African all-rounder De Klerk stated that the Proteas need to focus on building batting partnerships as they prepare for their match against the Netherlands. He expressed confidence that the team will peak at the right time during the tournament.

Springboks captain Siya Kolisi has drawn praise after a video emerged of him showing a touch of class following South Africa's win over the All Blacks. According to The South African Sport, the clip shows Kolisi intervening to help a so-called streaker, reportedly gifting the young fan his shorts in the aftermath of the match. The gesture has been highlighted as another example of the captain's character following the high-profile rugby victory.

The Junior Springboks have made six changes to their lineup for the upcoming match against Wales in order to secure a win that will allow them to top their group and advance to the tournament semifinals. Yaqeen Ahmed returns to the team for this crucial game.

Paul de Villiers attributed his successful Test debut for the Springboks to careful preparation and a motivational talk from Siya Kolisi, which helped him manage his nerves during the match. The Springboks secured a 45-21 victory over England, marking a significant moment in de Villiers' career.

Springbok forwards coach Deon Davids has warned the All Blacks that South Africa's set-piece has yet to reach its peak ahead of their clash. Davids said the pack's hard work at scrum time, lineout and maul is beginning to pay dividends, but he believes there is still room for improvement in those areas as the Springboks prepare for the encounter against New Zealand.
