PORT ELIZABETH (Reuters) - Australia are hoping that hosts South Africa will buckle under the pressure from eager home fans in the Rugby Championship on Saturday after the Springboks upset world champions New Zealand away in their last test.
Utility back Reece Hodge is expecting to face a buoyant Springbok side, who scored an upset 36-34 win over the All Blacks in Wellington two weeks ago in the southern hemisphere championship. But he is counting on the burden of expectation weighing on their shoulders in front of their fans in Port Elizabeth.
