One month to go: All Blacks v Springboks in Baltimore
The two teams will meet at Baltimore’s M&T Bank Stadium on Saturday 12 September local time, (Sunday 13 September, 9am NZT) in the fourth and final Test of their historic series.
After three Tests in South Africa, the teams will cross the Atlantic for the series finale in front of more than 70,000 fans in Baltimore.
