Former All Blacks No. 8 Read faced the Springboks 22 times between 2009 and 2019 in his 127-Test career, winning 16 of those clashes.

Five of the Tests that Read played in South Africa came at Ellis Park.

However, Read remembers the eight-try thriller in a Rugby Championship decider in Johannesburg in 2013 as the most memorable.

New Zealand eventually secured a 38-27 win over the Springboks.
