The Springboks won 31-27 against the All Blacks on Saturday at Ellis Park. The South African anthem was sung powerfully by Sasha-Lee Davids and the Mzansi Youth Choir, energizing the crowd.
However, the All Blacks' haka was disrupted by fireworks and music that played during the performance, prompting some criticism regarding respect for the tradition.
Springboks captain Siya Kolisi praised his team's calmness during the comeback:
Siya Kolisi
Whenever we are behind, we never panic. We have been in far worse positions before and have come back.
Later, Kolisi went off the field for a head injury assessment and may have a fractured cheekbone. He noted the importance of team leadership.
