Bok captain Kolisi not concerned about inexperienced front row to take on Georgia
Returning captain Siya Kolisi is not concerned that the Springboks will start the Incoming Series Test match against Georgia at Mbombela Stadium on Saturday with an uncapped front row.
The Boks are starting the match with props Boan Venter and Neethling Fouche and hooker Marnus van der Merwe as coach Rassie Erasmus continues to create depth in the squad.
In their comprehensive win over Italy in Gqeberha last weekend, Erasmus started with vastly experienced front rowers in Thomas du Toit, Malcolm Marx and Wilco Louw.
'I am very proud of the guys earning their first Test caps and as a group we feel there is enough experience in the team for them to know we have their backs,' said Kolisi ahead of the match.
'They have been training against the likes of Ox (Nche), Wilco (Louw) and Malcolm (Marx) among others and the players around them have played Test rugby before.
