South Africa give up their first penalty. Well played Ardie Savea who wins the penalty within five metres of the NZ line! Can the All Blacks begin to turn the ...

It always matters when South Africa meet New Zealand but this Saturday the two face each other in a clash which could have massive ramifications. However, if they can get a win on the road in South Africa then that pressure will ease and it could reinvigorate the team as they compete in the Rugby Championship and look forward into next year. New Zealand have rarely ventured over the halfway. Then they struggle to do with South Africa's power after the hosts call for a scrum. Lood de Jager then gets pinged and New Zealand can relieve the pressure. Another penalty for New Zealand after a brilliant scrum forces Nyakane to his knee. A seven-point lead does not flatter South Africa at all and that breakdown steal from Ardie Savea, which came off the back of some really unimaginative phase-play from South Africa, could prove a big moment in the final shake-up... It eventually gets turned over and cleared up field but the pressure doesn't stop and South Africa are back in that same position moments later. South Africa boot it long downfield and into touch. New Zealand have the ball around 10 metres out and Jordan makes a break, it looks like he's off but a little ankle tap brings him down. Yes. South Africa clear the ball and New Zealand attempt a quick lineout, only to throw it in at an angle. More ill-discipline from New Zealand who close the gap at the lineout.

Tries from Kurt-Lee Arendse and Willie le Roux settled the Rugby Championship opener as the All Blacks' bad run continued.

New Zealand are in the midst of their worst run in 24 years after last month’s historic home series loss to Ireland. Replacement Willie le Roux crossed over as the All Blacks launched a desperate late attack deep in their own 22 in an attempt to salvage some pride. The Springboks were in control throughout and had a big territorial advantage to work with, although they finished with 14 men.

South Africa started their Rugby Championship campaign with a commanding 26-10 win over a hapless New Zealand in Nelspruit on Saturday.

Worked very hard on defence and was a tower of strength in the set pieces. Had another powerful game to mark his 50th cap, even though it was not flawless – a deserved Man of the Match outing. Plenty of impressive carries and solid on defence – making A MATCH-HIGH 14 tackles. Dealt very well with Caleb Clarke on defence, but spoilt it with a poor tackle in the air that resulted in a red card and being taken from the field on a mobile stretcher. Started with a brilliant kick-chase that resulted in the first try and continued to dominate in the air. Showed great variation in his game – running the first couple of times and when All Black defence came up, looked for space behind them with the boot.
