It's a guts and glory day

It's called the greatest rivalry in rugby, if not all sport, and we're in for another instalment of it today when the Springboks and All Blacks clash in a big Rugby Championship match at Ellis Park, with kick off at 5pm.

KOLISI: WE'RE PLAYING FOR SA - AND A WIN OVER ALL BLACKS ALL THAT MATTERS.

The world was treated to a World Cup final between these two great foes last year in France, when the Boks emerged 12-11 winners; today they meet again, at the unofficial home of South African rugby.

And while there is no Webb Ellis Cup being played for today - and no title of world champions - there will be as much passion, hunger and pride involved as in late October last year.

And at any other time in history, when these two teams have clashed on the rugby field.
