    Script: SOUNDBITE (English) Jannie du Plessis, South Africa

    "I think that sometimes that history can almost be a like a millstone on your neck because you play with added pressure. The guys just want to play for each other and for South Africa regardless whether there is a burden around us. We just want to make the people proud and fortunately for us it paid off."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Jannie du Plessis, South Africa

    "You have to respect the All Blacks. Their record speaks for itself. Unfortunately, I have been on the receiving end of a few tight games against them in the past four years. Regrettably, because every time you try your utmost and they manage to get over the line in the end. That is a quality of a good side but again I think playing with their backs against the wall for a few weeks now we've had to deal with the same type of pressure and fortunately for the team everybody stuff together and really, really made a concerted effort for the team to do well and fortunately for us it paid off. I think we will try to do more of the same for the weekend. "
