South Africa's national rugby team, the Springboks, is concentrating on their upcoming Rugby Championship match against Australia in Brisbane, despite a historically poor record in the country. Captain Siya Kolisi highlighted the significance of the game and the team's focus on current performance amid past challenges.

The Springboks have only secured three victories out of 16 visits to Brisbane, with their 49-0 loss in 2006 being one of their most devastating defeats. Kolisi acknowledged the struggles but asserted that the team's attention is on the upcoming match, which marks their first away game since last November's World Cup victory in France.

Australia, despite a disappointing World Cup showing, is expected to be formidable. With Kolisi's focus on preparation and respect for their opponents, the Springboks aim to overcome historical difficulties and make a strong start to the championship.
