I have often said that the Springboks don't have the habit of winning outside South Africa.
Of course, they say in SA that winning a World Cup outside South Africa means being able to do it. But, c'mon, Argentina, Fiji and England don't play in the Tri Nations.
From 1996 to 2008, the Springboks have played 28 Tri Nations games outside SA. They have won 4 (2 in NZ and 2 in AU) , drawn 1 (in AU) and lost 23.
And that, to me, is more important than a World Cup.
Do not expect SA to win more than, at most, one game.
So be realistic, dream with the All Blacks winning the 3N.
