The Springboks have broken up their trip from Perth to Dunedin with a stopover in Auckland ahead of Saturday’s test against the All Blacks.
And fresh off a loss against the Wallabies, Boks coach Heyneke Meyer knows it doesn't get much harder than taking on the All Blacks in their own backyard.
While the visitors are sweating on the fitness of two tighthead props it's the All Blacks loosehead Tony Woodcock making headlines today with the news he's leaving the Blues to join the Highlanders.
With Woodcock's move south it appears Crusaders Ben Franks will now be with either the Hurricanes or Blues for the 2013 Super Rugby season.
