‘FNB Stadium is next level,’ says former Bok legend ahead of All Blacks showdown

Former Springbok flyhalf Morne Steyn believes the Bok players are in for an incredible experience when they face the All Blacks at the FNB Stadium in Soweto on Saturday. The stadium, with its capacity of 94,000, is set to host close to 90,000 spectators for the Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry Test. Steyn, who has played twice at the stadium, highlights the unique atmosphere of playing in front of 90,000 fans, stating it is "next level."

The Boks have lost both previous matches against the All Blacks at the stadium, going down 29-22 in 2010 and 32-16 in 2012. The upcoming encounter holds the potential to secure a 2-1 lead in the series ahead of the final Test in Baltimore, USA.
