It will be a massive challenge for the Boks to win, surely the AB will be motivated to protect that record
But it will also be a massive accomplishment if we do manage to pull it off.

The boks will have a soft run up to the tour to New Zealand. They are playing a bunch of bottom tier teams before they take on NZ. I would have preferred if they got a tough game under their belt.
This will be a massive tour. All Blacks don't stay down for long and they may be short on a few things but they are not far away from settling how they want to play.
This to me is bigger than the world cup as a bok supporter. This is like the AB back in 90s winning the first test series on SA soil. We have never beaten the All Blacks twice at home. We may have won one game and then a draw but never shut them out.
It will be interesting to see who Rassie picks and what tactics he deploys.
I think his strongest team and some of the old heads will feature at which point Rassie then needs to plan for succession as the following year the AB are planning a proper tour to SA which has been long over due. This is just and appetiser of bringing back those old tours.
Eden park what a challenge
Love rugby and love the All Blacks. For the rivalry and wanting to see the boks win so badly. But seriously, this to me is bigger than the world cup.
Boks managed to beat AB in two world cup finals.
