Siya Kolisi: ‘We’re hurting. That wasn’t close to our best, we know’

If Ireland were ever in any doubt about the likelihood of a fierce response from South Africa in Saturday’s second Test, Springboks flanker Siya Kolisi will have eradicated those doubts in an instant.

With the chance of revenge coming at South African rugby’s spiritual home of Ellis Park this weekend, Stormers openside Kilosi is, needless to say, determined not to succumb a second time.

“I feel like we tried but we didn’t do enough,” Kilosi, 24, said. “That wasn’t close to our best, as a team we know that. We’re hurting, that’s what’s hurting us the most. Not the fact that we lost, but the fact that we did not do our best when our best was required.”
