All Blacks vs Springboks Rugby on Saturday afternoon in Cape Town in the second game of their double-header in the Rugby Championship game at DHL Stadium in Cape Town on Saturday, 2024 September 07 (5.00pm local time kickoff; 07.00pm NZT).
The All Blacks led 27-17 at one point in the second half and seemed in control, but Scott Robertson is worried about another collapse in the last quarter given similar errors in their tournament-opening loss to Argentina.
South Africa’s coach Rassie Erasmus has also cleared Siya Kolisi to play after the player suffered a nasal fracture last week. Erasmus understands that victory in Cape Town would be a crucial step towards winning the Championship crown.
