 Few saw it coming, and all of a sudden the hunters will become the hunted when the Rugby Championship moves across the country to Cape Town.

 Springboks coach Rassie Erasmus is a very shrewd tactician and should have some smart ideas about how to counter the Wallabies, so it'll be interesting to see what Joe Schmidt has to counter it.
