This is the first time the two teams will be playing each other since the Rugby World Cup final last year.

Wall says the All Blacks team is confident going into the match, even though they know the Springboks are in a good position.

The last time the All Blacks were at Ellis Park they emerged victorious.

“The odds are with the Springboks at the moment, but the last time the All Blacks came to Ellis Park they were under far more pressure.”
