Cheslin Kolbe Steps Up to Save Springboks' Goal-Kicking Woes

'Kicking for posts is something I enjoy; I have been doing it since primary school,' Cheslin Kolbe said after his impressive debut as the Springboks' goal-kicker.

The Springboks were dealt a massive blow when mercurial flyhalf Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu suffered an ankle injury, ruling him out of the July Tests. This paved the way for flyhalf Manie Libbok to take on the goal-kicking duties, but his inconsistency in this area and the added pressure of this role were starting to affect his general play.

However, in a clever move, Rassie Erasmus decided to hand the responsibility to Cheslin Kolbe, who has just returned from a successful season in Japan where he fulfilled this role with aplomb. Kolbe's experience in kicking for posts in Japan has clearly paid off, as he landed five successful kicks at poles from seven attempts against England on Saturday.

This was Kolbe's 50th Test appearance, and what a memorable occasion it was – he scored a stunning trademark try in the 45-21 victory over England in the first round of the new Nations Championship. Kolbe's commitment to the Springboks is evident, and he expressed his gratitude to coach Rassie and the SA Rugby management for giving him his first opportunity in 2018.

Kolbe will be looking to continue his good form in the upcoming clash against Scotland this Saturday. The kick-off is at 17:40, and tickets are still available for the Test. The Springboks are looking to build on their victory over England and will be hoping that Kolbe's accurate goal-kicking can be a crucial factor in their success.
