South Africa v New Zealand - Ellis Park, Johannesburg, South Africa - August 31, 2024 New Zealand's Rieko Ioane in action with South Africa's Cheslin KolbeSouth Africa’s nerveless run through the knockout stages at the Rugby World Cup last year has instilled the belief that no mountain is too high as they seek a fourth successive victory over old foes New Zealand in Cape Town on Saturday.
They had to do it again when they trailed the All Blacks by 10 points with 12 minutes remaining in the first of two Rugby Championship home tests at Ellis Park this past weekend, and it is something they actively train for. “In the past we wouldn’t have been able to come back from 10 points behind against New Zealand and win.
The Springboks got a dose of their own medicine when they failed to see out a home test with Ireland in July, falling to a drop-goal after the hooter in the second fixture in Durban to lose and share the series 1-1.
