    Springboks coach Rassie Erasmus insists a win at Eden Park against the All Blacks would be special, but requires perspective

    Springboks coach Rassie Erasmus insists a win at Eden Park against the All Blacks would be special, but requires perspective


    Tomorrow night he's aiming to mastermind the first New Zealand loss at the fortress since 1994 - and first victory for South Africa at the venue since 1937.

    The closest they've come in eight tests since was an 18-all draw, also in 1994, five weeks after France's try-from-the-end-of-the-world.

    Erasmus says such milestones are fleeting.



    Live commentary on Newstalk ZB, Gold Sport and iHeart Radio from 7pm tomorrow.
