Springbok scrumhalf Morné van den Berg makes a pressure-relieving kick against the All Blacks in Cape Town. He is relishing a second clash against the New Zealanders this coming Saturday at the FNB Stadium in Soweto.

Morné van den Berg is relishing another challenge against the All Blacks and will hope to extend his unbeaten run in Test rugby when the Springboks face New Zealand in a pivotal third Test in Johannesburg on Saturday.

The scrumhalf experienced the intensity of facing their arch-rivals for the first time last weekend in Cape Town, coming off the bench to help the world champions secure a hard-fought 33-26 victory at DHL Stadium.

Now, with the Boks looking to take a 2-1 lead in Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry, all eyes will be on the final match on South African soil at FNB Stadium (5.10pm kick-off) in Soweto, where Van den Berg will play his first Test in Johannesburg.

The Lions scrumhalf came on at a crucial time in Cape Town, helping to stabilise the Boks defensively, while his kicking boot got them out of trouble on numerous occasions.
