De Villiers 'Excited' About New Zealand Clash

Friday 13 September 2013

Watch as South Africa captain Jean de Villiers says he is 'excited' ahead of his side's crunch Rugby Championship 2013 clash against New Zealand this weekend.

Both sides have won all three games they have played in the tournament so far ahead of their crucial encounter at Auckland's Eden Park.

New Zealand took a brace of wins against Australia - home and away - before defeating Argentina. South Africa started off with two wins over Argentina before their first win on Australian soil for four years last week.

"You can just sort of see the whole week that the All Blacks are pretty keen for this match as well, everyone is looking forward to it and even the messages from back home, you know everyone is excited about it and looking forward to the game," de Villiers said.

"Not even thinking about the result, but just looking at the sort of magnitude of the game and the excitement around it," he added.

"I suppose as a rugby player and as a sportsman these are the games you want to play in and these are the games you look forward to. So we are definitely very excited about it."
