Like everyone else, former Test lock Johan Ackermann is in a state of anticipation ahead of Saturday's Rugby Championship clash between the Springboks and the All Blacks on the latest episode of To The Last Drop. The Boks will hope to firm their grip over the All Blacks with a possible fifth win in their last seven matches against their old foes. The All Blacks, who were a little aggrieved at the outcome of last year's Rugby World Cup final, have a chance to exact retribution at a venue where it will hurt the Boks most.
