    Expect the Springboks to pepper the All Blacks with high balls at Eden Park on September 6, following New Zealand's struggles in the air during their Rugby Championship loss to Argentina in Buenos Aires

    Skipper Siya Kolisi, fellow loose forward Pieter-Steph du Toit and fullback Willie Le Roux are all fit again, but injury has ruled out wingers Kurt-Lee Arendse and Edwill van der Merwe.
