WELLINGTON: The Springboks celebrated their last-gasp, 16-16 draw with New Zealand as a win on Saturday but said it would have no bearing on their blockbuster clash at the World Cup.

All Blacks coach Steve Hansen, meanwhile, said he was “quietly excited” with the way his side performed, despite Herschel Jantjies’ late converted try which left the scores level.

While South Africa were jubilant, the All Blacks trudge from the field in Wellington as if they had lost. The two sides will meet again in the World Cup group stage on Sept. 21.
