South Africa expects the All Blacks to attempt a backlash at Cape Town this Sunday to match their second Test recovery after losing to Argentina earlier in the Rugby Championship.

South Africa won the first Test of two 31-27 at Johannesburg.

After losing 38-30 to the Pumas in the first Test of the Championship, the All Blacks stormed back at Eden Park.

Motivated by extending their unbeaten run to 50 games at their Auckland fortress, the All Blacks achieved their goal with a 42-10 win.

But South Africa, the world champions, will be a more challenging task.

Springbok forward coach Daan Human says the All Blacks made a massive comeback against Argentina, and they are expecting them to fight back equally hard this week.

He says they have a lot of respect for them and know what they can do.

Human says they are concentrating on their game and controlling what they can in the game this weekend.

The All Blacks will face the Springboks at 3am, while Argentina will host the Wallabies at 7am.

Both matches will be held on Sunday.
