Rugby | Boks ready for first All Blacks test

Rugby's Greatest Rivalry kicks off at Ellis Park in Johannesburg this afternoon, when South Africa and New Zealand meet in the first of four test matches.

It is the 111th meeting between the two sides, and it is not a stretch to say that the Springboks are favourites.

The Boks have beaten the All Blacks five times in the last six encounters, including in the World Cup final in 2023, and most recently in Wellington in 2025, where the Green and Gold handed the Kiwis their biggest ever test defeat.
