Springboks captain Siya Kolisi will have added motivation when leading his team against England as his father has travelled overseas for the first time to watch him play.

Kolisi says it will be the second time that his father will see him play live.

Kolisi also says winning the Rugby World Cup would make a "huge difference" to the country.

He says he is proud of what they have done as a team and now it is about making sure that everything falls into place.

The Springboks take on England in the final of the Rugby World Cup at 9 tonight.
