"New Zealand kept their Tri-Nations title chances alive when they edged a thrilling encounter against South Africa 31-27 in Dunedin on Saturday.
A South African win or draw would have given the Springboks the crown.
But the result ensures the title will now be decided in Auckland next week when New Zealand take on Australia in the final match of the series.
The Springboks were outscored by four tries to three in a match that saw the lead change hands five times.
South Africa's defeat extended their winless run in Dunedin to seven matches, stretching back to 1921.
New Zealand wing Joe Rokocoko scored two tries while Leon MacDonald and Keven Mealamu added one apiece.
Bryan Habana, Enrico Januarie and Fourie Du Preez crossed over for the Springboks. "
