New Zealand play their final warm-up game before the start of their four-Test series against South Africa as they take on the Bulls in Pretoria.
Dave Rennie’s All Blacks produced a vastly improved performance as they thrashed the Sharks in Durban on Tuesday night, and will look to keep the momentum rolling with a week to go until their first clash with the Springboks.
A move to the Highveld and the accompanying altitude may challenge the tourists, though, and this looks a Bulls side capable of doing damage.
Can they pull off a shock and detail the Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry tour?
Here’s everything you need to know.
When is the Bulls vs New Zealand?
The Bulls host the All Blacks at Loftus Versfeld in Pretoria, with kick off at 6pm BST on Saturday 15 August.
How can I watch it?
Viewers in the United Kingdom can watch every game from the Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry tour live on Sky Sports, while South African viewers can tune in via SuperSport.
