WATCH: Springboks arrive as anticipation builds for All Blacks clash
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.
