De Villiers: don’t write off Australia

SOUTH AFRICA centre Jean de Villiers has warned his team-mates not to write off Australia in this year’s Tri-Nations competition.

De Villiers believes the Wallabies are more than capable of beating the All Blacks in Sydney on Saturday as both sides look for their first win in the tournament.

Although South Africa beat the Australians two weeks in a row before recording their bone-crunching victory over the All Blacks in Cape Town last weekend, De Villiers believes Eddie Jones’ men are good enough to come back and win the competition.
