Former All Blacks captain Sean Fitzpatrick is adamant the Eden Park 50-match unbeaten streak will heap pressure on South Africa —rather than New Zealand— in tonight's Rugby Championship test.
The Springboks will attempt to become the first team since France in 1994 to win at the Auckland arena, having beaten the All Blacks the last four tests in a row.
Fitzpatrick says he'd dread playing at South Africa's fortress, Ellis Park.
“[The Springboks are] all saying, “we love going to Eden Park”, they don’t love going to Eden Park,” he told Piney.
“Because that’s our home, that’s where we’re successful.”
