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.

It was South Africa who made the biggest statement of the third round of the 2013 Rugby Championship with an emphatic 38-12 crushing of Australia.

South Africa go into this week's Rugby Championship clash with Australia looking for a third straight win while their opponents are yet to get off the mark.

The All Blacks welcome Argentina to Auckland as huge competition favourites while the wounded Wallabies, who have not yet recorded a vicoty in the 2013 tournament, host South Africa on Saturday night.
