Writing in The Australian, former England fly-half and current media pundit Stuart Barnes outlines the way in which to defeat World Cup favourites New Zealand.
"AUGUST 20: the All Blacks rest their captain, Richie McCaw, and the world's best five-eighth, Dan Carter. South Africa beats them by 18-5.
"Even though other players are rested, it is hard not to subtract two from 15 and arrive at the same answer as most rugby fans on the planet.
"New Zealand, for all the individual brilliance, is a flawed diamond when Carter isn't there to glitter and McCaw to deliver the hard edge at the breakdown. But not for the obvious reasons."
