South Africa and New Zealand renew one of rugby's greatest rivalries today at Ellis Park in Johannesburg.
The Springboks come into the first Test as the reigning back-to-back World Cup champions, having beaten the All Blacks 12-11 in the 2023 World Cup final.
Today's match is the first of four Tests between the sides — an unprecedented extended series that takes the rivalry into a new chapter, with New Zealand touring South Africa on a full-scale tour for the first time in 30 years.
To unpack the rivalry, we are joined by Jan De Koning, Independent Rugby analyst.
