# Rugby: Bulls coach Johan Ackermann doesn’t think the All Blacks’ showing against his team, the Stormers and the Sharks is an indication of how they will fare against the Springboks. The visitors fairly easily defeated the three franchises before Saturday’s first Test at Ellis Park. The former lock, who played 13 Tests for South Africa between 1996 and 2007, points out the Boks will be more match-fit than the franchises, while All Blacks coach Dave Rennie also warned his side to up the ante against the world champions.
