INTRO: South Africa's rugby captain captain, Siya Kolisi, says his side will face an England team with in-form players when the two sides kick-off their Nations Championship challenge at Ellis Park in Johannesburg on later this evening. The Springboks are aware this might be an England side in a state of transition, but they'll still be a competitive prospect. The Springboks will face England, Scotland and Wales in quick succession in July in the newly formed tournament. Meanwhile, in a desperate effort to get people into Ellis Park for the Springboks' opening test match of the inaugural Nations Championship against England on *TODAY, the South African Rugby Union has announced a reduction in ticket prices. Prices ranged between 950 and three thousand rand for standard seating as around 30-thousand tickets were still available. However, a large number of tickets are now available at 650 rand, while even prime seating has been reduced to 950 rand. SARU is hoping the reduced prices will bring them closer to having the 62-thousand seater at 90 percent capacity. For more on this Bongiwe Zwane spoke to SABC sports reporter, Thando Mxoli...
