The two great teams meet again today at the Joburg venue, in round two of the Rugby Championship.
The Boks won three of those encounters, with the All Blacks triumphant in two, including in the last meeting at the ground in 2015.The year 2000 was a difficult one in the Tri Nations for the Boks as they finished bottom of the table with just one win, however that came against the All Blacks in a scintillating clash.
They also went into the clash on a nine game losing streak against their rivals, with their last win coming at Ellis Park four years earlier. A top performance then followed with a hattrick from Marius Joubert, further tries from Breyton Paulse and Jean de Villiers, and three conversions and three penalties from the boot of Percy Montgomery helping them to a comfortable win, followed by one over the Aussies a week later to take the title.
