Both squads enter the contest with one win and one loss after the Springboks rustled with the Australia Wallabies at home, and the All Blacks nearly swept the Argentina Los Pumas in Buenos Aires to begin The Rugby Championship. 

One of the most iconic and historic rivalries in the sport, the Springboks have never defeated the All Blacks at Eden Park, and South Africa additionally harbors the pressure of being the reigning Rugby Championship winner. 

New Zealand currently stands as the No. 1 team in the world, taking place of South Africa after the first week of action, and has more than a reputation to uphold. 

The Springboks moved from No. 3 to No. 2 following their win over Australia, and they are keen to not only crush their losing streak at Eden Park, but take back their spot at the top. 

Here's everything to know ahead of the highly anticipated matchup:
