Bongi Mbonambi says the Springboks are expecting a massive battle against the All Blacks in Auckland on Saturday, noting how impressively the hosts dealt with a powerful Los Pumas pack in Argentina.The Springboks will play their first game in central Auckland since 2013, looking to continue their impressive start to the year by beating the All Blacks in the coastal city for the first time since 1937.
Mbonambi is five players who have retained their place in the starting lineup, from the side that claimed a bonus-point victory over the Wallabies at Loftus Versfeld. They have been joined by 10 of the 14 players who last week travelled to New Zealand to acclimatise to the conditions and time zone.“The game against Australia was a good start for us, but we quickly put that behind us because we have another big challenge this week,” said Mbonambi.
“I am not sure what that means, because when you play against the All Blacks, you want to win and you have to be at your best, irrespective of showing your plans towards the World Cup,” said Stick.
