South Africa not dwelling on 2015 shock defeat as they prep for Japan in quarters
- 5 years ago
South Africa's Cheslin Kolbe insists his side will not have the shock defeat to Japan at the 2015 Rugby World Cup on their mind when they face the hosts in their quarter-final on Sunday in Tokyo.
Japan beat the Springboks in the shock of the tournament four years ago, in a result dubbed the 'Miracle of Brighton'.
The two teams also came face to face most recently in a warm up match ahead of this World Cup campaign, with the 'Boks' coming out on top.
Head coach Rassie Erasmus will be thrilled to have Kolbe and scrum half Herschel Jantjies both back fit going into this crunch game in Tokyo.
