The All Blacks suffered a crushing 3-1 series loss to the Springboks after a gritty but ultimately flawed performance, with coach Dave Rennie blaming lack of clinical execution—especially in the second half—for the defeat. The Springboks’ dominant power game outclassed New Zealand’s fast-paced attack, sealing control as Ardie Savea’s shoulder injury sidelined him for the final test. Despite the blow, Rennie insists the loss wasn’t due to his captain’s absence, stressing the team must be more ruthless with scoring chances. Heading to Baltimore for the final match, the All Blacks aim to salvage a draw and prove they can beat the world champions—if they tighten up discipline and seize momentum.
