The Springboks v All Blacks third and final Test decider in South Africa is as good as a World Cup final. What has the New Zealand narrative been on the eve of the biggest Test in South Africa since the series decider against the British & Irish Lions in 2021?

They may have forgotten the drama of the 2009 and 2021 series wins against the British & Irish Lions, both won by last minute penalty kicks from Morne Steyn. Springboks v All Blacks Here’s a snapshot of the New Zealand view a day out from Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry third Test.
