Boks To Go All Out

BROWN: PREPARING FOR BAABAAS LIKE IT'S A REAL TEST

- Ross Roche

The Springboks aren't taking anything for granted and are preparing as if it was a genuine Test match, as they gear up to face famed invitational team the Barbarians at the Cape Town Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

It is the opening match of the season for the world champs, and although it's a non-Test against an unpredictable team, they aren't planning on taking it easy and will be going all out to start off on a positive note.

Bok attack coach Tony Brown fronted up to the media yesterday afternoon and admitted it is tough to prepare for a team that only comes fully together this week and has no other plans or fixtures after this once-off game.
