 Heyneke Meyer on the Boks: “This is a very powerful team, especially our forwards are amongst the best in the world – it is a pack that don’t take a step back for anybody. We also have some very exciting backs and all-round it is a well-balanced team. This team has been together for four years now and have loads of experience. My only concern would be at fly-half, if Butch James or Andre Pretorius is injured, what will happen then? But we have a team that can win the World Cup.†Comments:
 Andre Markgraaff on the Boks: “It is a very strong team, the best available that we have. I am a little surprised that we are taking five locks to the World Cup – I include Danie Rossouw in this group. We could have taken an extra loose forward and played Danie as a lock in the ‘easier’ games.†Comments:
