It's once again time for another All Blacks test in South Africa - really the ultimate game in world rugby, a bit like Barcelona v Real Madrid or the Boston Red Sox v New York Yankees.
And this time, there is plenty at stake with the Rugby Championship title up for grabs. The All Blacks may very well have one hand on the title after their bonus point win against Los Pumas last weekend but this is South Africa in South Africa and anything could happen - mind you it may be hard to see the Boks score 4 tries against this resolute All Blacks defence even without McCaw and Carter.
Here's a look back at some of the most memorable All Blacks games in the Republic.
1995 South Africa 15-12 New Zealand
Ah yes, who can forget this one.
1996 South Africa 26-33 New Zealand
Our first ever series win - and probably last ever given the season right now - in South Africa. Zinzan Brooke at his very best.
2002 South Africa 23-30 New Zealand
More famous for that idiot on the field.
2003 South Africa 16-52 New Zealand
Our biggest score in the Republic - shame it was in World Cup year when they don't really count.
2008 South Africa 0-19 New Zealand
The first time we kept South Africa scoreless at home.
2010 South Africa 22-29 New Zealand
Israel Dagg!
