The Boks on Friday took the unusual step of asking Western Force and former All Black coach John Mitchell, who was with the Sharks for a fortnight recently, to present the match jerseys. And that will have ruffled feathers in both Australia and New Zealand.
Winning Tests away from home is exceptionally difficult, but the Boks enjoy playing in Perth where they have won their last two Tri-Nations games and enjoy the backing of a large contingent of supporters.
With a rich spread of experience throughout the team, in the talent they have in key areas and with a proven match-winner in Morne Steyn, the Boks have a team for all seasons. It will be rough and intense, but this is a Test they really should win.
