Penetrate the fortress

RUGBY CHAMPS: RASSIE BELIEVES THE BOKS CAN DO THE JOB AT EDEN PARK

- Ross Roche

Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus says that Eden Park is not to be feared, and that the Boks believe they can do the job and get a win over the All Blacks in their Rugby Championship clash in Auckland tomorrow.

A lot has been said about the All Blacks' fortress in Auckland, which is a ground that they haven't lost at in over three decades. Their last defeat at Eden Park came in 1994 when they were beaten 23-20 by France, and since then they have won 48 and drawn two of the next 50 matches there.

However, in that same time period the Boks haven't played at the stadium much, with them making just five appearances in their 29 visits to New Zealand over the past 31 years, with the last coming in 2013.
