The Springboks, who have beaten the All Blacks in their last four meetings, haven't played at Eden Park since 2013 and will be licking their lips at the chance of making more history.
That try, scored four minutes from the end of the Test, had its origins in captain and wing Philippe Saint-Andre 's refusal to accept defeat and running the ball from 80 metres out. The ball passed through nine pairs of hands and, in 27 seconds, created a try for fullback Jean-Luc Sadourny . That is still regarded as the most beautifully conceived try in the history of the game.
“They’ll certainly show up,” All Blacks captain Scott Barrett said about the Springboks' visit to New Zealand. A week later, the Boks will take on Georgia on home soil for the second time, in line with World Rugby’s plans to expose emerging nations to top-tier opposition.
