Simnikiwe Xabanisa, of the South AfricanTimes, eagerly anticipates seeing the new look Springbok XV take on Australia on Saturday.
"The South African sports fan is a beast after my own heart.
I've worked out that one of the main reasons I'm still wasting precious space on this planet is because I tend to go through life dikbek. An eternal pessimist, my theory is that I'm double-daring life into surprising me in spite of itself.
The reverse psychology has worked a treat: I've worked for a newspaper I never thought I'd work for when I was dreaming of being a chartered accountant, and I've been to places that were never on the horizon when the sun set in the old Ciskei.
Hell, I've had girlfriends - current one included - who I never thought would look twice at me when I was bribing girls to accompany me to the matric dance."
