“If we avoid defeat, we will be the first team to get the invincible tag in South Africa. That’s massive and I think we fully deserve it,” Williams said.
Williams also highlighted the crucial role that the supporters played this season. He said it is important that the team lifts the silverware and celebrate this historic moment with the Yellow nation.
