GOLD COAST, Australia (Reuters) - South Africa’s giant lock Eben Etzebeth says he and his Springbok team mates have a last chance to restore lost lustre when they conclude the Rugby Championship with another meeting against New Zealand on Saturday.

The world champions narrowly lost 19-17 to the All Blacks in Townsville last Saturday as the top-ranked New Zealanders won the southern hemisphere championship with a match to spare.
