New Zealand head coach Steve Hansen has told his players South
Africa will want to "rip our heads off" in Saturday's World Cup
semi-final at Twickenham.
The All Blacks go into the game, which kicks off at 16:00 BST, having won 47 and lost three of their past 52 Tests.
South Africa coach Heyneke Meyer says the defending champions are "the best team to have played the game".
"He's just about killed us with compliments," said Hansen. "He's a cunning wee devil is Heyneke."
Both sides have won the World Cup twice, with New Zealand aiming to become the first country to win successive tournaments.
"Just look at their record in the last four years," said Meyer.
"Usually after the World Cup there's a decline in performance but they just got better, which just doesn't happen in world rugby."
