It was once considered the world championship of rugby union.
Even today, Springboks v All Blacks tests still remain the ultimate match-up in world rugby - for All Blacks fans, a win against the Boks on their own turf in the Republic is one to be celebrated given how hard it is to win any game in the Republic's massive stadia and hostile and parochial environment.
Think going to the Camp Nou or Old Trafford and beating the home team, the reigning champions on their own turf. Ellis Park on Saturday should be as tough as ever to get a result for the ABs.
There have been plenty of memorable moments from past matches between the ABs and Boks in South Africa. Here are some of them.
1995, Joel Stransky's drop goal
1996, Zinzan Brooke's drop goal
2002, Richie McCaw tackles pitch invader
2004, Marius Joubert hat-trick
2010, Israel Dagg scores late winner
