PREVIEW
After what feels like an eternity of build up, the All Blacks' Rugby World Cup opener is finally here.
As the All Blacks' quest for a third straight World Cup begins, familiar foes South Africa stand in the way, having had the wood over Steve Hansen's side for the better part of the last 18 months.
These two sides drew 16-all the last time they met, coming earlier this year in Wellington, meaning both will be confident of their chances at getting their World Cup campaigns off to the perfect start.
