  "summary": "The Springboks have made history by beating New Zealand twice in a Test series on South African soil. According to SABC News, the Springboks defeated the All Blacks 29-24 at FNB Stadium in Johannesburg on Saturday. This victory gives the Springboks a 2-1 lead in the series.\n\nThe match was a closely contested one, with both teams scoring four tries apiece. IOL reports that the Springboks held their nerve when it mattered most to claim a hard-fought victory. The teams will now travel to Baltimore for the series finale on September 12.\n\nNew Zealand had previously won two of the three Tests played in South Africa in 1996, giving them bragging rights. However, the Springboks have now taken the lead in the series. Kurt-Lee Arendse scored his sixth Test try for the Springboks and his third against the All Blacks, helping his team come back into the contest.",
