New Zealand and South Africa go head-to-head in a Rugby World Cup Pool B fixture
New Zealand take on South Africa in one of the most hotly-contested matches of the opening weekend at the Rugby World Cup.
The All Blacks are the heavy favourites to win the tournament outright, but South Africa are arguably the team most likely to stop that from happening.
The Springboks toppled hosts Japan in their most recent warm-up game after two victories over Argentina.
South Africa also held New Zealand to a 16-16 draw in July after already comprehensively beating Australia.
They have taken big scalps in 2019,while New Zealand have experienced a mixed bag of results.
Steve Hansen’s men were defeated 47-26 by Oceanic rivals Australia in August before beating the Aussies 36-0 in a blow-out performance.
The All Blacks’ most recent clash was a scintillating 92-7 win over Tonga, during which they led 54-0 at half-time.
