John Kirwan believes the All Blacks must “start thinking like South Africa” and load their bench with dynamic players if they hope to beat the Springboks on Saturday.
Rugby’s greatest rivalry will be showcased this week on the Highveld when the world champions tackle the All Blacks in the Rugby Championship at Ellis Park. The action moves on to Cape Town Stadium on Saturday, 7 September.
