It’s Bok Friday and Springbok legend Jean de Villiers was back with the Ryan O’Connor Breakfast Show to look ahead to the weekend. He doesn’t foresee a win for Argentina against New Zealand and predicts a nerve wracking game for the Boks against England. But he does feel that even though we beat them in the quarter finals, Jean can’t see the French shouting in support for the English.
