Playing in South Africa 'special', says Springboks captain Kolisi

"To be able to come home and play for the people and the country who we have been playing for all along is very special," he told an eve-of-match press conference in Pretoria on Friday. Tickets for the Test at the 52,000-capacity Loftus Versfeld stadium were sold out in 30 minutes, emphasising the huge support the national rugby team enjoy. Pretoria will host the highly anticipated first clash between the world champions and Six Nations title-holders, with the second and final Test in Durban on July 13.
