Nineteen long years later, it remains one of the most memorable moments of All Black lore.
As All Black fullback Allan Hewson kicked the winning penalty, so deep into injury time it seemed it must be all over, Eden Park held its breath for oh-so-long, then screamed in joy.
Thisweekend, we discovered what was is like to be on the other side of an injury-time penalty win.
The third and deciding test against the old enemy, the Springboks, was deadlocked 22-all, well into injury time.
The Springboks, who had fought back from 3-16 down, were penalised for striking early in a scrum. A quick tap led to another penalty from referee Clive Norling, this time for not retiring 10m, and then it was over to Hewson.
The fullback, earlier heckled by the crowd for letting Springbok Ray Mordt through to score, at first thought his series-deciding kick was going to miss. He was still shaking hours after the match. And that one picture - the fullback with both arms raised - has become an All Black classic.
Just like pictures of John Eales will become the stuff of schoolboy posters today.
