South Africa's star winger Cheslin Kolbe is back in the Springbok team for the Rugby World Cup final against England, after missing the 19-16 semi-final win over Wales with an ankle injury.
Speaking ahead of the final, Kolbe said he was primed for an aerial battle in Yokohama, where the team that excels in the air and chasing will pull through.
"I think there's going to be a bit of a contest in the air and chasing and I think that the team that's going to be up for that is the team that's going to pull it through," Kolbe said.
While De Klerk and Handre Pollard pull the half-back strings for South Africa, England's Owen Farrell, George Ford, and Elliot Daly all have an impressive kicking game.
"There are structures, plans put in place," Kolbe continued, looking forward to coming up against Jonny May, who he described as having "a lot of wheels!"
"If you wear that jersey, it's whatever it takes to wear it and give the best on the field, whether it's chasing up on a kick, on defence or running with the ball in hand," Kolbe said.
