South Africa captain Siya Kolisi says Australia have made their intentions clear with a 6-2 split between forwards and backs on their bench in the Rugby Championship clash between the sides in Adelaide on Saturday.
"A lot of people had a lot to say about us doing it, but Australia have set their intentions in terms of what they want to do," Kolisi told reporters on Friday.Kolisi is eagerly anticipating the battle with the Wallabies loose trio, led by their dynamic number eight Rob Valetini, as he reunites with flanker Pieter-Steph du Toit and Duane Vermeulen in the Bok back row for just the second time since they lifted the Rugby World Cup in 2019.
But the Boks are also expected to run the ball more and prominent in that plan will be centre Lukhanyo Am, who has been in incredible form so far in 2022."He's been amazing for us for a very long time," Kolisi says."It took a while for people to see that. He always wants to learn, talk to other players and hear opinions.
