What did the hosts say about the overall result of the Springboks vs All Blacks series?
I think that for me it's scary Ross.
It has to be critical that the team, you know, feel that hurt.
Being able to beat defenders here, four defenders beat it. And so
they're starting here and we're starting here. Coming to you from Rugby's greatest fortress, New Zealand's national stadium, Eden Park, is the Al Terror Rugby Park. Kyota and welcome to the Alte and O Rugby Pod at the conclusion of Rugby's greatest rivalry. What a test series that has been. 3-1 victory to the Springboks was well deserved. They were definitely the better team across the series. We're gonna have a good look into them, how they progressed and why they progressed in comparison to the All Blacks, and how can that be made up? That gap, how big is it really? And where can the All Blacks advance in order to catch? up what have they done well, which players have made big movements, so much to talk about it from an all-black perspective in the context of the fact that these two teams are going to meet in the quarterfinals next year.
So please stick around for all of that. We'll have your dominoes moment of the week as well as the Athletech questions of the week. And of course you can catch us on at Altero Rugby pod channels across YouTube, across an audio pod, social media as well. You can go to stuff.co.nz and to rugby pass. We can get those stats to catch more of our content. And of course, you can come here to Eden Park in a month's time to watch the All Blacks play against the Wallabies and the Bleders Low Cup. Right, lads, it wasn't the perfect end to this series. Jipper, you're there in Baltimore. Was it a tough watch through that second half, thinking this is the chance to get two all? And then it was quite clear. that the Springboks are the ones that with a better team.
Man, they were super slick yesterday, the the spring books, like everything they sort of touched. um turned to gold and um I I look I feel for the for the A Bs you know like because it was it was quite a deflating feeling. Um one, it was basically a Sprintbox home game. Um two um as a as an avid All Black fan, um I think everyone felt that two two would have been a sign that you know things are back on track. I'm not s I'm not being as dramatic as some other people and thinking that there hasn't been growth and there hasn't been improvement. But there's still there's still a a a decent gap, um, I suppose, between the Spring Box and the rest of the world.
Yeah, look at all this deflating. Definitely um watching an anapier, but You've got to credit the the South Africans, man. Like, yep, I think there's definitely been some involvements and some evolution in our game, probably post with when Dave really coming in. But it just seems like the South Africans have just got better and better and better in the test mat in the test matches. And that's probably a worrying sign for us. Like I just think to probably Jupiter's point, like the clinicalness, the ruthlessness, when when they have the opportunity and you need to be on, they score the trial like Arnsa, right? That's just a 50-50. Okay. Be able to get the ball that goes loose off a offer more we kind of knock on and then they go and score a try.
Then off that, then they score another try. So, like it's just their ability that when they get their opportunities, they had 13 entries into the 22, which is a which is a big number that we probably didn't want, operating at 46%, even though the all backs were above 50, which was great. The quick ball was at 67%, 11 line breaks, 32 defenders beaten, nine offloads, 11 all backs had. eleven offloads, but that's the attacking brand and they put us in on the back foot and I thought Vandenberg as well, like his sniping ability, him scoring the try, but him being able to get out the quick ball that they were playing at, um it just seemed they were a lot better on the attacking side, right? Which we thought maybe they'd go to the contestable game and go back to the more traditional side.
But They were just impressive, man. Like you've just got to hand it to them.
