The Springboks lead the All Blacks by 13-12 at the break of the opening Test of the Castle Double Malt Rugby's Greatest Rivalry in Johannesburg, where the visitors have scored two tries to one.
The Boks were on the board first through a Cheslin Kolbe penalty goal but a few minutes later, the All Blacks took the lead with a try by Will Jordan.
Andre Esterhuizen, who replaced Kurt-Lee Arendse, then crashed through a few tackles to score, with Kolbe's conversion making it 10-5 to the Boks.
The next try belonged to Josh Moorby and with Ruben Love adding the extras, the All Blacks took a 12-10 lead, but Kolbe added a second penalty goal to make it 13-12.
