Teams: SA VS AUS
Venue: Newlands, South Africa
Crowd: Capacity
Weather: Sunny
Pitch Condition: Firm, Dry
Game Plans & Tactics: South Africa
Coach Briefing: Today gentlemen we are concentrating on a forward assault on Australia. Our forward pack is far superior and this is the area we need to exploit. Let's keep the pressure on their pack and keep the ball with the forwards. The Australian attack out wide is world class and I want to squeeze every last bit of possession away from their back line.
With that in mind I want Gregan marked constantly. Put him under pressure and make him feel welcome (grin). Gregan is not at the top of his game and I'm confident that if we squeeze him he'll pop!

Game Plans & Tactics: Australia
Coach Briefing: The South African side are notorious for lifting their game when the pressure is on, so we need to have our wits about us in this game! I am convinced the Boks will try to take us up front and I expect a huge amount of pressure there. We need to get that ball out ASAP and get our back line moving. The Boks are battling in the back line and I think is definately their point of weakness. Jantjies is new at the back, and I think he needs an introduction into the world of test matches.
Let's test him at the back and get him to make as many errors as possible. Also, Gregan is due for a big game and his return to form will bolster our future as World Champions, let's give him as much support as possible.
