All or nothing for the Boks

Saturday is almost here and the Springboks are ready to wear the Tri Nations Champions crown again. They face the All Blacks in their final match of the competition on Saturday and their fate solely rests with them. For the Boks to lift the trophy they need at least 2 points from the game but a win would make it feel so much sweeter. It has been a long time since the Boks went into the final Tri Nations game with only having lost 1 game so far. The All Black will be looking to spoil the party but the Springboks should be up for the task.
