Springboks captain Siya Kolisi says they are not in Baltimore, in the United States, to settle for a draw.
The Springboks will face the All Blacks in the fourth test of Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry with the chance to win the series outright.
Siya Kolisi: “In my experience, it doesn’t get tougher than this. It’s like playing four Rugby World Cup finals in as many weeks” – more here: https://t.co/mq6kCQ3xYH #Springboks #ForeverGreenForeverGold #RugbysGreatestRivalry pic.twitter.com/2nKJbyBsry

The All Blacks cannot win the series, but they could force a draw, in which case the trophy will be shared between both teams.
The Boks are getting ready to face a new-look All Black outfit, most notably with the addition of Richie Mo’unga at flyhalf.
Kolisi believes Mo’unga’s first test back since the World Cup final three years ago will add a new dimension to the series.
“We are growing and learning on the go because it is a tough series playing the same opposition four times. It’s tricky because they get to know you and you get to know them, so you have to find other things, other ways and weaknesses in them, but now we are playing almost a new team. Therefore, obviously, Richie brings a new dynamic to the team, so this weekend might be different from the other three games, but it is always exciting. However, all the games have been hard on the body.”
