South Africa vs All Blacks head to head

South Africa secured a thrilling 31-27 victory over New Zealand in a closely contested match. Fassi received an early yellow card, allowing Taylor to score the first try for New Zealand. Mbonambi responded with a try for South Africa, followed by successful penalties from Feinberg-Mngomezulu. New Zealand's Clarke scored another try, but Barrett's late first-half try kept the game tight. In the second half, South Africa's Smith and Williams exchanged tries, with crucial conversions from Feinberg-Mngomezulu. Tu'ungafasi's yellow card for New Zealand proved costly as South Africa capitalized on the advantage. Ultimately, South Africa's disciplined play and strategic kicks secured their hard-fought win at Emirates Airline Park.
