‘Hell of a series’: Rassie, Rennie discuss the magnitude of Boks against All Blacks
The clock is winding down to the kick off of the first of four Tests between the rugby-mad nations.
The inaugural Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry (RGR) Test series is set to kick off this Saturday in South Africa, with All Blacks coach Dave Rennie confirming that the match against the Springboks will be more challenging than winning the World Cup. The series will consist of three matches in South Africa, two in Johannesburg and one in Cape Town, with the final game taking place in Baltimore in the United States.
The Boks have a 12-match winning streak and are eager to continue their top form, while the All Blacks are looking to learn from the experience ahead of their World Cup next year. Both coaches acknowledged the high level of quality and intensity that will be present in the series, with Rennie emphasizing the importance of the Boks' home advantage.
Erasmus expressed his pride in the focus on the All Blacks series, noting that the atmosphere at Ellis Park in previous encounters would be replicated. Both teams are preparing to face one of the world's best rugby teams in a highly anticipated series.
