Joubert has O'Driscoll in his sights

HE'S big, lean and hungry, no longer in awe of Brian O'Driscoll. Marius Joubert grabbed a hat-trick of tries against the All Blacks in Johannesburg earlier this year, which propelled him into the international scoring records.

O'Driscoll did it a few years back against France before he went on to play a huge role for the Lions in Australia three years ago.

Now all the talk may be about O'Driscoll, but Joubert is adamant South Africa can prevail on this European and South American tour.
