The Springboks concluded their series against the All Blacks with a 3-1 victory, reinforcing their status as favorites for the upcoming Rugby World Cup. Their performance showcased a blend of power and skill, particularly highlighted by Malcolm Marx's pivotal try in the third Test. New Zealand, despite their loss, demonstrated resilience and potential for improvement, particularly in their handling and set pieces.
Watch for how the Springboks manage their aging squad leading up to the World Cup, particularly with key players like their 40-year-old hooker. New Zealand's focus on fixing their set pieces will be crucial as they aim to challenge South Africa again in the quarter-finals.
