The New Zealand vs South Africa live stream could hardly have more riding on it for rugby union's big two. The All Blacks and Springboks have one win and one unexpected loss on their Rugby Championship 2025 resumés and both sides know they must win at Eden Park, Auckland, to keep their title hopes on track.
You can watch New Zealand vs South Africa at the Rugby Championship 2025 from anywhere with a VPN.
Unbeaten at Eden Park since 1994, the All Blacks have more than just revenge for the 12-11 defeat by the Boks in the 2023 World Cup final on their minds. Scott Robertson's side were stunned 29-23 by Argentina last time out for their first ever away defeat to the Pumas. Although they'd won the first encounter of the tournament comfortably enough, the Kiwis have problems in the back row after ill-discipline saw three sin-bins, including two in the space of three minutes. They will also be sweating on the fitness of Cortez Ratima, with fellow scrum halves Cam Roigard and Noah Hotham, plus Aaron Smith unavailable.
South Africa assistant coach Tony Brown has declared this fixture "the biggest game since the Rugby World Cup Final". Stung by a surprise 38-22 defeat to Australia in their opening match, Rassie Erasmus' side recorded 30-22 win two weeks ago in Cape Town but still lean heavily on Handre Pollard and Willie le Roux, -- 31 and 36, respectively -- for attacking inspiration, while forwards Siya Kolisi, Pieter-Steph du Toit, Kwagga Smith and Franco Mostert are all the wrong side of 30. Recently deposed as world number one by Saturday's opponents, they want to set down a marker.
