Selection under pressure is often where squad depth reveals its value. New Zealand have made several changes for Saturday’s Cape Town Test, with Dave Rennie highlighting competition for places and a group still developing after four Tests this year.
A powerful reminder from Ellis Park that territory and physical dominance mean little without clinical execution.
The All Blacks beat the Springboks 33-16, scoring five tries to one and exposing South Africa’s struggles in converting sustained pressure into points. The series now moves to Cape Town, with the Boks needing greater attacking precision and composure in the opposition 22.
For the Sharks, the evening offered a hard lesson in the value of precision, depth and patience. For the All Blacks, it was a rain-soaked statement delivered with the subtlety of a wrecking ball.
