Sean Fitzpatrick: Former All Blacks Captain previews the first All Blacks v Springboks clash at Ellis Park

The wait is nearly over, the All Blacks just one sleep away from their first clash with the Springboks. 

They've sailed through their first three matches of the tour, and are now going head-to-head with the World Champions at Ellis Park in Johannesburg. 

Piney caught up with the first All Blacks captain to lead a series winning tour to South Africa, Sean Fitzpatrick. 

He told Piney the Springboks are very physical and very strong, and you have to be able to compete with that. 

But one of the pleasing things Fitzpatrick says he's seen in the All Blacks' first three games, is that they are quite physical now.
