It looks an absolutely gorgeous day in Joburg. Not quite as nice as Glasgow, but still.
The players are only just coming out of the changing rooms, so we'll have a slightly delayed kick-off.
Belief key as Glasgow eye rare win in South Africapublished at 14:57 British Summer Time 18 May

Franco Smith has urged Glasgow Warriors to show more belief as they look to win in South Africa for the first time in six years.
Glasgow almost overcome a 27-point deficit against the Bulls last weekend, with their comeback falling short in a 40-34 defeat, and Smith wants them to be sharp from the start in the final outing of their South Africa trip against the Lions on Saturday.
"Hopefully we don't have to come back. That is the main thing," said the Warriors head coach.
"I thought we depleted ourselves a little bit from energy in the period that Kyle Steyn was off [against Bulls].
"We fought back nicely in the second part of the game when we started adapting to these conditions and the circumstances.
"We want to deliver an 80-minute performance. So the focus is pretty much on us.
"We know what their threats are, but we need to up our execution and play with a little bit more belief from the start."

Glasgow Warriors head coach Franco Smith has made five changes to his side for Saturday's meeting with the Lions in Johannesburg.
Scotland winger Kyle Rowe is the only alteration to the backs as he is favoured over Sebastian Cancelliere, who drops out of the squad from last week's away defeat by the Bulls.
And Euan Ferrie and Henco Venter both start ahead of Jack Dempsey and Matt Fagerson, who are on the bench.
Angus Fraser and Oli Kebble come in to the starting XV to join Murphy Walker in the front row.
Glasgow, currently a point clear at the top with two matches to play, are looking to round off their South Africa trip in style and keep their hopes of a top-two finish in their own hands.

Glasgow Warriors missed the chance to return to the top of the United Rugby Championship after losing heavily to a depleted Lions side in Johannesburg.
Kyle Rowe hacked a loose ball through, gathered cleanly and scored Glasgow's opening try and George Horne converted.
Lions had to play the following 10 minutes a player down after Ruan Venter, who had replaced Emmanuel Tshituka early on, was shown a yellow card for a late tackle on Tom Jordan.
Rowe, tightly clutching the ball, thought he had scored again while being tackled by two Lions players but the TMO ruled there had been no grounding.
Jordan Hendrikse kicked Lions' first points with a penalty.
And, from a Glasgow penalty inside the Lions 22, the visitors fell behind for the first time as Rabz Maxwane was released on the right to touch down.
The hosts then lost Venter for the rest of the match after he caught Jordan high and was shown a red card.
Lions' discipline continued to let them down as Francke Horn was sin binned for a deliberate knock on.
Warriors found a way through early in the second period as Euan Ferrie touched down just over the line and Horne converted.
But Glasgow again conceded from an attacking position. Lions got a turnover after Rowe had been held up near the line and Edwill van der Merwe chased his own chip to go over behind the posts. Replacement Sanele Nohamba converted.
And it only got worse for the visitors as Maxwane finished a sweeping move on the right and Nohamba added another two points.
Lions smelled a bonus point and got one when JC Pretorius took Erich Cronje's pass and ended another enterprising move on the right, with Nohamba's conversion creating a 15-point gap.
Nohamba intercepted a Duncan Weir pass to speed away and score the hosts' fifth try under the posts before converting.
Play off-bound Glasgow were stunned but Josh McKay went over from Sione Tuipulotu's offload and replacement Weir converted to bring Franco Smith's side back to within 15 points.
However, Nohamba's penalty quelled any realistic chance of a comeback and Hanru Sirgel clambered over for a late sixth try.
Glasgow finish the weekend fourth in the standings, level on points with off Leinster and three points off leaders Munster.
