Writing for Rugby Heaven, Spiro Zavos insists the Wallabies have some reason for hope as they prepare to take on the Springboks in Brisbane.
"De Villiers might be rugby's most diverting or annoying sideshow but the main game for the Springboks is that someone is coaching and selecting the side brilliantly. Great success is being achieved for a side that is immeasurably better than the team that won the Rugby World Cup in 2007. This season there has been a victorious Test series 2-1 against the British and Irish Lions, a clean sweep of their three Tri Nations Tests in South Africa, and, on Saturday, a decisive and well-planned victory over the Wallabies at Perth. The scoreline of 32-25 was close only in the way a person is close to a cliff as he plummets down off it."
