Let’s forget about Australia for a minute but let me focus on New Zealand and how South Africa are gearing up for them specifically during their away leg of Tri-Nations 2009.
South Africa have always had the toughest away season in world rugby. Invariably the Springboks have had to face a tag team which no other international rugby nation could contemplate – New Zealand and Australia in three weeks.
Perish the thought of any other team, let’s say Scotland, Wales or Ireland, attempting what South Africa do year in and year out. They would no doubt shudder at the thought.
For South Africa, especially in 2009, things look different. I’m not referring to the unquestionable dominance of the South African squad at present OR the relative strengths of Australia and New Zealand.
What I’m talking about is a shift in national mindset – a strange common agreement in South Africa that New Zealand are fair game and the Springboks aren’t going to be diplomatic about handing them a lesson.
In nearly 50 years of watching rugby in South Africa, I’ve never seen anything quite like this. And the largest national TV News channel in South Africa has set the tone.

Ek wens K9 kon my sy insig gee oor die naweek se rugby. Dit is altyd lekker om sy blogs te lees. Wragtig ‘n moerse slim ou daai.

#173 Ek geniet weer die wysheid van GBS, Pietman, Super, BDB, Tacticus en Bul-a-bhloo nogal. Flippen slim ouens daai.
#174. Nee, behalwe vir die Earl storie, dra hy baie rugby kennis, wat jong seuns soos ons kan gebruik. Ag man, dit is lekker om vir K9 te ken.
#176 Supa,
Pietepedia is die enigste een wat vir k9 miskien ‘n go kan gee op rugby kennis. Die ander is nie baie slim nie. Veral daai BDB ou. Rate hom glad nie 😀
Nou waaaa my koene????
