Murray Mexted: Ex-All Black on first test vs Springboks, Sam Cane, playing on the Highveld

Murray Mexted - iconic All Blacks loose forward and former rugby commentator - joins Martin Devlin on It's Only Sport, looking ahead to this weekend's Springboks-All Blacks rugby test in Johannesburg. On Sunday morning (New Zealand time), it'll be the first clash between the old rivals since last year's Rugby World Cup final in Paris, which South Africa won 12-11 over New Zealand. Mexted and Devlin discuss coach Scott Robertson's All Black team named with a focus on the return of former captain Sam Cane to the starting lineup. As well as that, they talk about the challenge of playing the Springboks in their own backyard, how they think Cardiff-born referee Andrew Brace will perform, memories from Mexted's time as an All Black playing in South Africa, and more.
