The Springboks entered their press conference with a clear understanding that the upcoming clash against the All Blacks was unlike any ordinary Test match. Pieter-Steph du Toit described the tournament as a unique experience, admitting that playing New Zealand and South Africa across four consecutive games was both a massive honor and a major challenge. For him and the team, the chance to compete at Ellis Park carried special meaning, especially in front of passionate supporters and families who have always been part of their environment.
