Springboks first‑five Handre Pollard

In the final match of the 2009 Tri‑Nations, Steyn stunned the All Blacks by kicking not one, but three penalties from inside their own half, as the Springboks claimed the trophy in dramatic fashion.

Steyn will feature against the All Blacks once again, named on the bench for Saturday night's Rugby Championship showdown in Wellington, and is the only player in the South African side to have played in a victorious World Cup campaign.

Good week of preparations so far for the big #AllBlacks match on Saturday in Wellington.

Pollard says Steyn has so much experience and he is not that old compared to some other guys in the team.

The Springboks will meet the All Blacks at 7.35pm Saturday.
