• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Our boys in Black are about to enter the lions Den,
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Alice Park and Johannesburg. The teams have been named. Captain
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: Scott Barrett is back as lock after a finger injury,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: and Sam kin will be returning to the starting fifteen
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: for the first time since that Rugby World Cup last year.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: So can the All Blacks do it? Or will South
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Africa beat them on home turf? I should say Kevin
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: part is a former Springbok and rugby commentator. He's with
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: me this morning, get a Kevin good Morning. So big
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: game this weekend. I would just feel scared for them
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: walking into that Lion's Den.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Oh look, it is a really confrontational, hostile sort of place.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: But that's the same reason they also played the game.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: And it's not as if we're not prepared. The reason
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: you bring a guy like Sam Kine back, you know,
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: someone with so much experience and that he's done that
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: multiple times and with success.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: So that experience will be key.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: You think, oh, one hundred percent. I mean, the one
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: thing is in people may not have sort of highlighted it,
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: but this is a sort of an undercooked Springbok team,
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: which you never get an undercook team. But you know
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: two locks who aren't really locked. They're sort of number
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: six and seven on their pecking order. Over there still
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: fantastic players you know played last week, but I mean
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: one World Player of the Year is the blindside loose forward.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: So if there's an opportunity to sort of attack their
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: line out, now would be the time.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Are you saying they might be a bit vulnerable?
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: I haven't found many. Yeah, I wouldn't go with many
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: vulnerable Springbok teams, but that there are certain opportunities to
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: try and come through. And I mean with the guyelite
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: Scott Barrett, we should be sort of pumping there, going yeah,
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: but he's in the same position that they are at
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: the stage, a little bit weak. The only thing to
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: counter that is they've just brought is the best back
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: from injury, and I mean, you know, your best player
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: in the world able to come off the bench and
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: probably you know, go like and absolute bowing for about
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: thirty minutes. Is that scares the heck out of anyone.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: A bad time for us to be watching here, but
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: it'll be a great game. Looking forward to it, and
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: thank you. What's your scorepick? By the way, have you
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: got one or who's winning.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: And what's yeah I do. I unfortunately think we might
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: win at Cape Town, but I think this one could
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: be about six points to the box.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: All right, Kevin part thank you very much for you
