South Africa vs New Zealand live stream 2024: How to watch the Rugby Championship match online, Springboks make seven changes

The South Africa vs New Zealand live stream shifts to Cape Town to resume rivalries in round four of the 2024 Rugby Championship. Here's how to watch South Africa vs New Zealand live streams from anywhere with a VPN – and potentially for free!
With three wins from three, the Springboks have opened up an eight point gap over the chasing pack in the 2024 Rugby Championship, but had to rely on two late tries to secure victory over the All Blacks in Johannesburg last weekend.
A fourth successive victory over New Zealand would mark only the second time in the 103-year history of this fixture when that has been achieved.
In a show of strength, head coach Rassie Erasmus has made seven changes to the starting XV, with double Rugby World Cup-winners Willie le Roux (fullback) and Lukhanyo Am (utility back) returning. That makes a total of 19 RWC winners, including 13 players that beat the All Blacks in the final last October.
Thirteen All Blacks that tasted defeat that night are also included in Saturday's match day squad, including former captain Sam Cane who is just three caps away from a century of test appearances. Elsewhere, Mark Tele’a and Wallace Sititi have been drafted in to replace the injured Caleb Clarke and Ethan Blackadder.
Billed as 'The Best of The Best', TRC 2024 is heating up nicely. Read on for how to watch South Africa vs New Zealand live streams from wherever you are – including our guide to free options, and all 2024 Rugby Championship live streams .
