Grant Williams’ late try completed a remarkable comeback for South Africa, leading them to a victory over New Zealand in the third week of the Rugby Championship.
The Springboks, trailing at halftime and down 27-17, turned the game around thanks to New Zealand prop Ofa Tu’ungafasi's 69th-minute sin-bin.
Despite the All Blacks scoring four tries to the Springboks' three, fly-half Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu's 16 points from four penalties and two conversions proved decisive.
The match, a repeat of last year's World Cup final, saw New Zealand lead 12-11 at halftime with tries from Codie Taylor and Caleb Clarke, while Bongi Mbonambi scored for South Africa.
