Siya Kolisi said South Africa will hold nothing back when they face New Zealand in their final Rugby World Cup warm-up match at Twickenham on Friday.
The teams are on a potential collision course in the World Cup quarter-finals, but Springboks captain Kolisi maintains his side are only thinking about avenging a 35-20 loss to the All Blacks in Auckland during the Rugby Championship.'That shows what the intent is.
