The Springboks have beaten the All Blacks 36 – 34 in the Rugby Championship in Wellington in New Zealand.
The victory was the first in nine years for the Boks in New Zealand.
South Africa withstood wave after wave of All Blacks attack in the final moments, finally holding on to win well after the final hooter.
Today was different when jubilation erupted and tears of joy were running when the game ended.
