Our Bok-bashing record counts for nil, warns Deans

AUSTRALIA coach Robbie Deans has told his players their record against South Africa is meaningless at a World Cup.

The Wallabies have won five of the last six meetings between the Tri Nations rivals. They also enter tomorrow’s quarter-final (6am Irish time) at Wellington Regional Stadium with three successive victories against the Springboks in the bank.

Deans, however, insists the World Cup is a different stage with different demands.
