From the sidelines to the heart of the Bok battle. Eben Etzebeth says four straight Tests against the All Blacks is “the ultimate test for any rugby player” as South Africa takes its rivalry to Baltimore.
The charter flight to America was anything but friendly. 😳🇿🇦🇳🇿 Jasper Wiese says the All Blacks are desperate and ready to come out “guns blazing” in Baltimore. With the Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry on the line, the final Test promises fireworks.
The Springboks head into Saturday’s Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry decider with a 2-1 series lead and two changes to the starting XV.
Damian Willemse returns at fullback after recovering from his niggle, with Morne van den Berg promoted to scrumhalf after his explosive impact off the bench last weekend. Cobus Reinach moves to the replacements.
Cameron Hanekom’s return highlights an important element of the Springboks’ success: the strategic use of replacements. His role is built around energy, physicality and exploiting fatigue in the final quarter.
The Boks have the upper hand, yet Rassie Erasmus says the job is far from finished. After a nerve-shredding 29-24 win at FNB Stadium, South Africa and New Zealand head to Baltimore for one final heavyweight collision.
SOCCER CITY, SOWETO – History has a habit of making noise. Siya Kolisi prefers a whisper. When the final whistle detonated around FNB Stadium on Saturday after the Springboks’ 29-24 victory over the All Blacks,…
At FNB Stadium (Soccer City) in Soweto Rugby’s greatest rivalry in rugby found another gear in Soweto last night as nearly 90 000 fans were served a ferocious feast of high-octane rugby, with the Springboks…
Sport has a remarkable ability to turn family journeys into history. Wallace and Amarante Sititi will represent the All Blacks and Black Ferns against South African opposition on the same day at FNB Stadium, 28 years after siblings Annaleah and Xavier Rush achieved the feat. It is a compelling reminder that elite sport is built on talent, sacrifice, family support and generations of inspiration.
Siya Kolisi says the Springboks owe Soweto their best as South Africa face Ardie Savea’s All Blacks in a decisive FNB Stadium Test.
Apparently everyone is a scrum coach now. Daan Human has noticed. “It looks like every second guy is becoming a scrum coach now.” Then came the serious bit: “If you say we’re walking around, then we’ve been walking around for the past six years.”
The Boks’ scrum war has officially become rugby’s favourite courtroom drama.
