JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - South Africa kept their cool when they needed it most to arm wrestle their way to victory over New Zealand in the Rugby Championship on Saturday inspired by two of their young guns.
South Africa were 10 points adrift with 11 minutes left but fought back with a brutal display of forward power to win 31-27 at Ellis Park and take command of the southern hemisphere championship standings.
