National anthems over, kick-off just seconds away
Good afternoon and welcome to our coverage of this encounter between South Africa and a World XV side at DHL Newlands in Cape Town. Victor Matfield returns to international rugby and captains the Boks today after coming out of retirement less than a year ago. Matfields's men will have a stern test this afternoon. A star studded World XV littered with talent pose a real threat to a South African side playing their first game together of 2014. A pack lead from the back row by European Player of the year, Steffon Armitage, will look to get on top of this aging SA pack. With real pace in the form of Gear and Mitchell on the wings for the World XV side, Habana and Hendricks, the latter making his debut, will have their work cut out for them. No doubt an exciting game in store for fans and neutrals alike. Kick-off is just a few minutes away. Stay with us for live coverage throughout.
Ok. Cheers Gavin. I think South Africa would scrape through by up to 3 points the differential
He's starting 11^
What about Habana?. Is he being rested for the upcoming tests or what?.
