The weight of history may be against them but South Africa are excited by the challenge of taking on New Zealand in the Rugby Championship at Eden Park in Auckland on Saturday, a ground where the Springboks have not won a test since 1937.
“The magnitude of the game is something that excites me,” stand-in captain Jesse Kriel told reporters on Friday.
