WATCH: Springboks arrive as anticipation builds for All Blacks clash
Updated | By Valerie Robinson
With anticipation building for today’s big rugby clash, both teams have arrived at the Westpac Stadium in Wellington.
Last week the Boks produced a promising 35-17 win against Australia, whereas the All Blacks did not seem their best when the narrowly beat Argentina.
The home side will also have pride to play for, as last year South Africa secured their first victory in New Zealand since 2009.

Today’s matchup serves as a preview to the opening game of Pool A for the World Cup taking place later this year as the two teams will take each other on. The game’s outcome is also crucial in determining this year’s shortened Rugby Championship winner. The game will be refereed by Australia’s Nic Berry.
