South Africa v New Zealand LIVE: Latest updates from Rugby Championship match

19 mins: Asafo Aumua has come on to replace Codie Taylor for New Zealand after Taylor landed awkwardly on his head and needs a check over.

South Africa play out from the ruck and ping the ball over to Cheslin Kolbe. He sprints into space, dummies one defender, skips past another then looks for the hand off before being brought down.

He manages to offload the ball but the receiving player fumbles it for a knock on.

17 mins: Sevu Reece and Willie le Roux both leap for an aerial ball. It’s clear that the South African will get there first so Reece attempts to pull out of the challenge. He clatters into Le Roux’s legs and earns himself a booking for not protecting the ball carrier.

New Zealand are down to 14 men now as well.

15 mins: Will Jordan has been alert and alive. He intercepts a cross kick and tries to get forward on the left wing. Siya Kolisi scrambles across to make things awkward for him but New Zealand win themselves a lineout and keep coming.

They work the ball inside the 15 before Jasper Wiese is punished for a poor tackle and gets sent to the sin bin!

South Africa are down a man but New Zealand decide to kick at goal to get the first points on the board. Damian McKenzie slots it over the bar for the three.

12 mins: South Africa mess up their next lineout after a strong kick bounces out of play off a New Zealand arm. Codie Taylor grabs onto the ball and drives the All Blacks forward.

They maintain possession and work the ball down the line. A switch of direction sees Taylor receive the ball on the left wing but he’s held up a few metres from the line.

South Africa hold firm and get the turnover right in front of their own sticks! That’s a great defensive set from the homse side.

9 mins: Damian McKenize tackles too high on a dropping Grant Williams meaning South Africa are awarded a penalty. They kick it into touch and launch back a lineout which goes uncontested.

These opening minutes have been quite aggresive with both teams wrestling for control of the ball and the game. Neither is on top yet.

6 mins: There’s been some crunching tackles already with South Africa chipping away at the field position New Zealand gained following the first penalty.

Handre Pollard slots a grubber kick through the All Blacks line but Jordie Barrett scopps it up and boots it back down the field.

3 mins: Grant Williams takes too long to resume the match after the opening tackle and hands New Zealand a scrum deep in his own half.

The All Blacks try to get something going but South Africa’s defence is strong and quick. Mark Tele’a is thrown off the ball as part of a tackle. He spills it and the Springboks win a scrum of their own.

Siya Kolisi is such an inspiring figurehead for South African rugby. He’s an articulate and passionate speaker and he’s very good at playing rugby.

The Springboks captain belts out his country’s national anthem before the All Blacks perform their haka. The South Africans look back with stern and stoic faces

Now this match gets underway with the All Blacks launching the ball into the air.

The second test of this double header between South Africa and New Zealand. The Springboks won a close tight match last time out and another victory here will see them win the Freedom Cup for the first time since 2009.

New Zealand will want to respond positively. There pretty much threw the game away in Johannesburg but have good memories of playing in Cape Town.

The players make their way out onto the pitch, kick off is up next…

South of the Equator, the tectonic plates of rugby are shifting. Secure back-to-back wins against New Zealand this weekend and South Africa will all but make certain of a rare Rugby Championship crown, knocking the All Blacks of a throne they have occupied for most of the last two decades.

As any Springboks fan will tell you when discussing even a tenuously tangential topic, South Africa now have four World Cup wins to New Zealand’s three, but their record in this competition has been curiously poor. Since the transformative arrival of Rassie Erasmus, they have won the Rugby Championship just once; in the last two decades, that tally of titles grows only to three.
