For the Springboks to be successful at Eden Park this weekend they need to fire shots from the get go against the All Blacks, as relying on their traditional strengths might not be enough to beat the Kiwis at their fortress. Also are fans and media perhaps over-hyping this game, when in fact Rassie Erasmus will see this fixture as another opportunity to test out talent as he plots South Africa's Rugby World Cup defence in 2027?

It doesn't get any bigger than the All Blacks versus the Springboks and in this podcast we speak with SA legend Pieter Muller who gives us his perspective ahead of the crunch game at Eden Park. Muller, who was part of the all-conquering 1998 Tri-Nations winning team, believes that the All Blacks still have their aura, and the game will be decided by fine margins. As a former midfielder, Muller also gives us his views on who he'd pick at flyhalf, and the differences between Handre Pollard, Manie Libbok and Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu.
