Live blog updates on RNZ Sport<\/p>\n

The Springboks appear to not be taking any chances for this weekend’s test in Cape Town against the All Blacks, at least according to Cheslin Kolbe.<\/p>\n

The star winger stressed the importance of focus for the world champions as they headed to DHL Stadium.<\/p>\n

“It’s very important that we are fully focused this week because matches between the Springboks and All Blacks are always a war,” Kolbe told media at the team’s hotel.<\/p>\n

“They are going to come out firing, so we need to stay on task and put in the hard work from the start to the end, and hopefully we will reap the rewards in the end.”<\/p>\n

Midfielder Lukhanyo Am also warned against taking the All Blacks lightly after the Springboks’\u00a031-27 win at Ellis Park<\/a>\u00a0last weekend.<\/p>\n

“You can never write off New Zealand; they’re a quality side. This game will be even tougher \u2026 more intense, but we still back our prep we’ve done this week. We’ll go out there and accept the challenge,” said Am<\/p>\n
