South Africa staged a dramatic comeback to defeat New Zealand 31-27 in a thrilling Rugby Championship match at Ellis Park. Trailing by 10 points with 11 minutes remaining, the Springboks capitalized on a yellow card for New Zealand's Ofa Tu'ungafasi to score two late tries, with Grant Williams sealing the win in the 75th minute. Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu's 16 points from penalties and conversions proved decisive in the match, which was their first meeting since last year's World Cup final. Both teams showed high intensity, with New Zealand outscoring South Africa four tries to three but ultimately falling short due to discipline issues. This victory marks South Africa's third win in the championship and their first since 2019.
