New Zealand All Blacks are exhibiting a ranking dominance rarely matched in team sports. This week they have celebrated 10 Years in a row as World Number 1.

Fans around the world >> "Here's hoping this new Sopoaga guy doesn't know how to kick goals. . . ."
Me >> " You'll see "

It is obviously a huge call to make. . . .
1) Springboks are possibly the second best team in the World.
2) Away from Home in Ellis Park Johannesburg

Highlanders teammate Aaron Smith will start at halfback (no.9), which will help Lima. Ben Smith Highlanders No.15 (Fullback) starts this weekend at 14 (wing).
Wing Julian Savea is having difficulty with Asthma.
Wonderfull side-stepper wing Nehe Milner-Skudder is still injured so will not make his All Blacks debut.

Match will be at 17.05 Central European Summer time on saturday.

Sopoaga vs Pollard will be fasinating. These 2 young men did not face each other this season as the Bulls did not get a chance to face the Highlanders. I was at the game in 2014 but obviously that was 15 months ago.
