Dan Biggar praises Siya Kolisi’s leadership impact

Former Wales and British & Irish Lions flyhalf Dan Biggar has praised Springbok captain Siya Kolisi, noting that his leadership on the field is worth an estimated five to ten points.

Biggar highlighted Kolisi’s performance following his return from a hamstring injury during the Springboks’ 33-26 victory over the All Blacks in Cape Town. While Biggar commended Kolisi’s physical contributions in carrying and defending, he emphasized that the captain’s ability to inspire and direct teammates is his most significant asset.

According to Biggar, Kolisi’s presence acts as a catalyst for the team, providing strategic direction and motivation even when not actively involved in play. This leadership is viewed as vital for the Springboks as they navigate pivotal phases of their season.
