The All Blacks can expect a backlash from wounded Springboks when they go head to head in the Rugby Championship clash this weekend.

The South Africans and their coach were stunned when Wallabies centre Tevita Kuridrani scored a try in injury time to give his side a 24‑20 victory.

The All Blacks watched the match in a hotel across the road from Sydney's Kingsford Smith Airport, and when they caught their flight to South Africa on Sunday morning their management would have already started issuing intelligence on what to expect from the Boks.

All Blacks coach Steve Hansen says they have to be brave to find out some answers to some questions and what better place to find out some questions about people and the game this weekend.

The Springboks will host the All Blacks at 3.05am Sunday.
