Whoever wins at Eden Park on Saturday will be in a strong position to push for the Rugby Championship title this season.
The All Blacks host the Springboks in a third round Rugby Championship match at Eden Park in Auckland on Saturday, with kick-off at 9.05am, hoping to preserve a 50-match unbeaten run at the ground.
The Boks have not won at Eden Park since 1937.
Both teams go into the match on the back of one win and one defeat — the All Blacks having already faced Argentina away and the Springboks having hosted Australia in South Africa.
Jesse Kriel will captain the Boks on Saturday and Scott Barrett the All Blacks.
