SCORING REC Springboks Outplay All Blacks in Cape Town
The Springboks need a win to keep their series hopes alive after a loss at Ellis Park, with Cheslin Kolbe and Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu starting.
- On Saturday, the Springboks face the All Blacks in Cape Town for the second Test of the Rugby Greatest Rivalry tour, with South Africa needing victory to keep their series hopes alive.
- Last week, the All Blacks stunned the Springboks 33-16 at Ellis Park, snapping the world champions' 12-match winning streak and leaving the hosts trailing 1-0 in the series.
- Springbok captain Siya Kolisi returns to the back row after the opening defeat, while referee Nika Amashukeli was ruled out with illness, prompting referee Angus Gardner to officiate.
- All Blacks boss Dave Rennie accused the Springboks of illegal scrummaging and failing to drive straight, though the team defended their technique as a key battleground advantage.
- Both nations will earn at least $6 million from the game, pushing the value of the Rugby Greatest Rivalry above returns from playing a Rugby Championship.
