Handre Pollard of South Africa will be in action tomorrow when the Boks face All Blacks. File pictureThe rugby fraternity will come to a standstill on Saturday at 5.05pm when the Springboks and the All Blacks reignite their rivalry at the Mbombela Stadium to kickstart their Rugby Championship campaigns.
South African fans and media are over the moon. They believe that the Boks will produce a clean sweep. Well, they could be left disappointed. In all three Rugby World Cups the Boks have won, they were never touted to go all the way. In last year's British & Irish Lions series, they came back from being 1-0 down to win the series 2-1. Recently, they took on Wales in an incoming series. The series was even at 1-1 going to the third Test. In the series decider the Boks beat the Dragons 30-14.
