South Africa ready for historic Argentina match

Tuesday, August 21 2012 by SNTV
  • Intro:

    The South African Springboks arrived quietly into the Argentine capital Buenos Aires on Sunday ahead of their game against the Pumas on Saturday.

    Script:

    The second weekend of the Rugby Championship sees Argentina looking for revenge against South Africa. 

    Springbok captain Jean de Villiers says the team are excited about having a new team in the championship.

    SOUNDBITE (English) 

    "It's fantastic. You know I've been to Argentina a couple of times, I haven't been to Mendoza and you know of the team, the last Springbok team, the last team that played here in 2005, I think its only Bryan and myself that's left of that squad, so a lot of guys haven't been to Argentina. And definitely it's nice to have a new stopover, you know, in this competition."

    "You know the Pumas, it's their first game at home in this competition so they'll be out to prove a point. We know that they'll be tough, we know that they'll emotionally up for it and mentally up for it so you know we're prepared for a massive battle on Saturday."

    SUPER CAPTION: Jean de Villiers, South Africa captain

    De Villiers will be hoping hometown advantage counts for nothing as they take on the Argentines in Mendoza this weekend.
