The Springboks are aware of the threat All Blacks star Beauden Barrett poses but will not be singling him out for special treatment in Saturday's Rugby Championship clash in Christchurch.
Barrett has been in remarkable form for New Zealand and finished with a 17-point haul in their commanding win over Argentina on Saturday.
Allister Coetzee's South Africa side are next up for the All Blacks but he is hoping lineout and scrum pressure will disrupt New Zealand's flow rather than singling out their playmaker.
"It's difficult to just to focus on one player," Coetzee said. "He's [Barrett] really on song, he's confident, everything he does he does well and turns into gold.
"But pressure is the name of the game and you've got to make sure the pressure's not to try and zoom in on Beauden, but to get the set piece right, to scrum well, put the lineout under pressure and hopefully that pressure will feed out to nine [scrum-half] and onto Beauden as well.
"There are going to be contests all over the park on Saturday. For us, it would be stupid to focus just on Beauden."
South Africa head to Christchurch off the back of a 23-17 defeat to Australia in Brisbane.
