FT: South Africa 43-28 New Zealand
Well, that's that after a good Test and a great series.
Across the piece, it feels quite the statement from the Springboks, especially to lose first up and then storm back in such emphatic fashion.
Really impressive from them, ominous for everyone else.
Thanks a lot for joining us tonight and across the series...after four Tests across four Saturdays, I'm off to moan about how long it'll be before we see it again!
The Springboks players are receiving their medals with Dan Carter and Schalk Burger on hand to help do the honours.
The back-to-back world champions are gathering on the podium for yet another trophy lift and Siya Kolisi joins his team-mates to hoist the silverware into the air.
It would be a brave rugby fan who bets against them doing similar in Australia next year.
South Africa captain Siya Kolisi speaking on Sky Sports: "We've got coach Rassie. When he speaks to us, he reminds us where we come from, the country where we come from, the players that are in the group and not playing, the injured players who could not tour and the people of South Africa. We do it for them."

New Zealand captain Codie Taylor speaking on Sky Sports: "We talk a lot about moments and South Africa have stacked a few more moments than us over the last couple of games.
"We had a couple of opportunities where we let them off the hook but full credit to them, they're a great side. They've proven why they're world champions and I look forward to playing them again whenever that is in the future.
"We're in an interesting place as a rugby nation. We're giving it our all. We've fallen short but I can assure everyone back home that we're working hard. I feel like we're growing and hopefully we get the opportunity again in the future."
Player of the match Morne van den Berg speaking on Sky Sports: "It's so emotional. It's been a massive honour to play for this jersey, this team, this country, my family back home.
"It's special. It's always good to score tries but it's more special when it's this game.
"This is a dream come true. It's what you dream of as a young boy playing in the garden."
A terrific series, but for all of New Zealand’s wit with the ball in hand, one that has cemented South Africa’s status as the best in the world. New Zealand’s basics across the four matches just haven’t been good enough, with the Springboks dominant in so many of the key areas. The All Blacks may be back as a force, but the Boks remain the team to beat.
New Zealand's attacking back play has looked really good. Their set-piece needs to improve big time as do their aerial skills. That is the benefit of having this series the year before the World Cup.
