2. SOUNDBITE (English) SPRINGBOKS CAPTAIN, SIYA KOLISI, SAYING:
"I think the most important thing is they knew what we were fighting for and they knew...especially Prince (Harry) who came to South Africa and he came to the changing room. And he said he saw what was going on back at home and he said we needed this and if any other country should have been us. I think that's where coach he reminded us once again that. He took out the human part of us you know to say okay, step out for a bit. It's not about you today, today it's about every single person that's sitting in this room every single person that's outside."
