New Zealand's All Blacks are gearing up for a high-stakes clash against the Springboks at Ellis Park this Saturday. With new coach Scott Robertson at the helm, the team is eager to make a strong impression after a shaky start to their Rugby Championship campaign.
The All Blacks are coming off a mixed performance, having lost 38-30 to Argentina before bouncing back with a 42-10 victory. In contrast, the Springboks have been in stellar form, securing consecutive bonus-point wins over Australia as they look to continue their winning streak against New Zealand.
Coach Robertson emphasized the importance of discipline and effective set-piece play, noting that even small errors could be costly. The team will also benefit from the tactical expertise of assistant coach Tony Brown, particularly in countering the Springboks' formidable 'bomb squad' of forwards.
