It’s all to play for, with the series locked at 1-1 with two still to play. The All Blacks won the first Test in convincing fashion, beating the world champions 33-16 at Ellis Park last month.

Rassie Erasmus’ charges stormed back into the contest last weekend, winning 33-26 at DHL Stadium to set up a mouthwatering third encounter between two of rugby’s juggernauts.

Today’s match will be staged at FNB Stadium in Johannesburg – which hosted the 2010 FIFA World Cup final – before the finale in Baltimore next weekend.

Here is everything you need to know about the clash.
