Brown not looking at All Blacks
The Boks are in Pool B along with Kenya, Spain and Canada.
South Africa lost to Fiji in the final of the Dubai Sevens tournament last weekend.
The Boks are currently third in the world championship standings.
They are five points behind New Zealand and trail Fiji by just one point.
Fiji will meet Australia, France and Scotland in Pool A in Port Elizabeth, while New Zealand have drawn Portugal, USA and Wales in Pool C.
Bok skipper, Kyle Brown, said earlier today that he is certainly not looking beyond Pool B.
Brown believes Kenya will prove tricky and that Canada also deserve respect.
He points out that the Canadians came within seconds of beating Fiji in Dubai last week.
South Africa will face Canada in their opening fixture on Saturday afternoon.
Kickoff is at 13h12.
