DSPN -RUGBY · The Greatest Rivalry Series is FAR From Over | Tony Johnson On All Blacks VICTORY At Ellis Park · 24 Aug 2026 podcast

If if we're just going to take the official line on this, Nigel, not yours, and that it is a four test series, well voice-verified

y if you don't win this test, the Springboks can't win the series. voice-verified

That that whether it's three or four test matches. voice-verified

Uh and so everyone's expecting a bok lash. voice-verified

Interesting that the first test was played and uh talking earlier on today to Paul Cully, who's a outstanding journalist here, writer of the game in New Zealand, and he felt that by design the series was set up that we will have the first test at altitude, uh, and the third one as well. voice-verified

Going to to Cape Town and in the past and if you think back to some of the series from yesteryear, days gone voice-verified

By going back to C level for the All Blacks was almost like growing an extra lung. voice-verified

Now I'm not saying that the Springboks aren't going to improve as well, but I think the All Blacks, that's that whole scenario now just does play into their hands a little bit. voice-verified

They've got through, they've won a test match at Ellis Park, uh, which is perhaps when you look at the record in recent years, uh it's not the feature. voice-verified

Of shattered dreams that it used to be for the All Blacks quite so much. voice-verified

In fact, definitely not. voice-verified

But they've got through that. voice-verified

They've won the test. voice-verified

Now they go back to Cape Town, where they get terrific support. voice-verified

There'll be a lot of New Zealand fans there, but there'll also be a lot of Caped Crusaders there and and people who live in the Cape area wearing black jerseys. voice-verified

So suddenly voice-verified

It kinda tilts the needle in that regard a little bit towards the All Blacks, but that's not you y you can't take f anything for granted because you know that the Springboks will come back and they will be desperate to level the series. voice-verified

Oh yeah, you could you could see the mine ticking over afterwards straight away. voice-verified

Um the w the one thing though, that the All Blacks voice-verified

And a a new coaching regime. voice-verified
