Rugby: Boks focus on match, not history at Eden Park

# Rugby: Springbok assistant coach Mzwandile Stick brushed off the pressure of playing at Eden Park as they prepare mentally for the challenge that awaits them against the All Blacks in the Rugby Championship tomorrow. He says they focus more on rugby statistics rather than history because that’s not where a game is won or lost. Only three players in the match-23 – Eben Etzebeth, Siya Kolisi and Willie le Roux – had played at the stadium before, where the Boks last beat the All Blacks in 1937. Kick-off is at 9:05 SA time.
