WIN AT ALL COSTS

STICK: ALL BLACKS AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT CHALLENGE

- Jacques van der Westhuyzen

» Past three of four visits by New Zealand to Ellis Park ended in a defeat for the Springboks.

Having set themselves up nicely in the Rugby Championship with two wins in Australia and a haul of 10 log points, the Springboks will have only one thing on their minds when they face the All Blacks in the first of two Tests in South Africa at Ellis Park on Saturday Win at all costs.

After two rounds of action in the Rugby Championship, the world champions lead the way with 10 points, having won in Brisbane and Perth, and they're followed on the table by the All Blacks with five points.

Argentina are third with four points, and Australia fourth, with no points so far.
