Another Rugby Championship is already in the bag as the All Blacks and Springboks get set to contest the final round in Pretoria this weekend.

The All Blacks can't afford to mess around with the Springboks at Loftus Versfeld as South Africa have the look of a team on the rise and will be a force at the next World Cup in Japan.

Springboks flanker Pieter‑Steph du Toit says that the Springboks are bracing themselves for an All Blacks "blacklash" when the two sides meet in Pretoria this weekend.

After South Africa claimed a 36‑34 win in Wellington last month, the All Blacks will be out for revenge in the return fixture on Sunday morning.

Speaking to media after his man of the match display against the Wallabies yesterday, du Toit says that the Springboks already have one eye on doing the double over the All Blacks.

The All Blacks will now take on the Springboks at 3.05am next Sunday while the Wallabies will meet Argentina at 10.40am Sunday.
