Intro:

South Africa captain Jean de Villiers spoke ahead of their Rugby Championship meeting with Australia.

Script:

SOUNDBITE: (English) Jean de Villiers, Springboks Captain:

"As long as you're focus stays on the job at hand, then you should be fine. And I think we've prepared really well, we know what to expect from the Wallabies and we know what we want to do tomorrow."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Jean de Villiers, Springboks Captain:

"Um, you know, I think we're trying to evolve as a team, but in saying that, we're always going to rely on what made us a good team and, you know, what Springbok rugby is all about. So, that'll always be there for us and that, for us, is a non-negotiable. If we can add to that, and try evolving around that, then I think we can only become a better team, and I think we have done that, in a way, but, you know, we need to stay strong in the areas that we've generally been strong in for a century or so."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Jean de Villiers, Springboks Captain:

"Yeah, well, you know, they've got a lot to play for and they've got their goals set. We've got our goals set as well and certainly we don't put our goals to be number two, we would like to get to number one, because, I think, you always strive to be the best in the world and, you know, we'll continue to do that. It's much easier said than done, and we certainly do know that the Wallabies will be a massive threat for us. But it's a challenge that we are excited about and one that we are looking forward to tomorrow."
