South Africa will take risks and are prepared to gamble with an expansive attacking game against New Zealand in the decisive match of the Rugby Championship.

Coach Heyneke Meyer said the Springboks face the daunting task of having to win by seven points and score four tries against the world champions if they are to win the four-nation competition.

Meyer said that the right mind set might yet do the trick for the home team.

South Africa must beat New Zealand with four tries or more and they also have to deny New Zealand a losing bonus point to stop the All Blacks from winning the Rugby Championship.

The Springboks meet the All Blacks in the Rugby Championship decider at 3am this Sunday while Australia faces Argentina at 10.40am.
