It will have been a fortnight of failure for the Springboks if the All Blacks leave these shores in August with anything more than two losses, according to MARK KEOHANE.
The world champions are set to host New Zealand in Nelspruit and Johannesburg when the 2022 Rugby Championship kicks off and the tourists will arrive in South Africa smarting from a historic series defeat by Ireland.
Meanwhile, the Springboks dispatched Wales despite fielding a second-string team in the second of three Tests, and this is the basis of Keohane’s belief that the All Blacks are ripe for the picking. “Richie McCaw’s mighty double World Cup winners were close to being immortals of the game, but the imposters who arrive in South Africa, coached by the biggest imposter of them all, are a group of mere mortals, who continue to make the wrong kind of history every time they lose, which has been in five of their last seven big Tests.
