There are few sides in the world that know Wellington’s Westpac stadium like the Springboks, but come Sunday’s Rugby World Cup opener against Wales, the Boks will have to contend with the weather as much as they have to slay the Welsh dragons.
Bok captain John Smit even joked at the team’s welcoming ceremony that, being his fourth visit to Wellington this year, he knew his New Zealand mobile number better than his South African one.
But whether that knowledge will help the Boks as they contend with poor weather conditions to open their Rugby World Cup account is a moot point.
