Title: Intense Rugby Rivalry: South Africa Takes on All Blacks in Battle for World No. 1

Back to back world champions. South Africa. In South Africa to all Blacks, test world No. 1. Like what. What else do you want? No coincidence that the first test is at Ellis Park. Ellis Park is where the all blacks, um, are loved to be seen by the South African public. But equally, the Springboks feel like that’s where they’re at their most hungry. To eat them up. So it’s a hell of a situation to walk into, but that’s why you play the game. Absolutely. Like, as an All Black, it’s like, right, oh yeah, we are in your house and we’re gonna kinda kick the door down. The players must be incredibly confident after that clinical performance. Guy, I literally, when I watch that 80 minute performance, it just kept pinging in my head. Oh wow, that was. That was perfect, perfect, perfect. Everything that they did was to perfection and. And they’ll feel good about that, but. But again, they won battles within the game that they won’t win against the Springboks. What they. They bullied Argentina, who dropped their lip. It won’t come as easy because the Springboks are just a better side than Argentina, and they won’t lay down.
