Could Mario Ledesma destroy his native country’s dreams?

When New Zealand and South Africa clash, all bets are off.

The Springboks are probably the only side in the world that New Zealand doubt themselves against as no other nation has managed a higher win ratio against them at 39% - 35 wins from 90 contests. The clashes have always been massively physical but this one represents the ultimate meeting of beauty and the beast.

The crazy thing is that when South Africa choose to utilise their backs and specifically an electric back three of Bryan Habana, who needs a try to surpass Jonah Lomu as the tournament’s all time record try scorer, Willie Le Roux and JP Pietersen they have massive try scoring potential.
