PLAYER TO WATCH: RICHIE MO’UNGA

When Mo’unga is at his best he can dance past defenders as if he has got lightning bolts shooting out of his toes. The All Blacks will need all of that, and more, from their No 10 if they are to outfox the Boks at altitude. A specia talent, Mo’unga must make his first start for 2022 a memorable one if the All Blacks are to win this encount

LAYER TO WATCH: PIETER-STEPH DU TOIT Flanker du Toit is integral to the way the Springboks perate. Don’t expect any flowery stuff from him. He’s ot there for that. His job will be to harass the All Blacks n the rucks, and fill the defensive line by demolishing any ball runners brave enough to test his resolve.
