Cheslin Kolbe kicks Springboks to series-levelling win over All Blacks in Cape Town

The Springboks have levelled their four-match series against the All Blacks with a 33-26 victory at DHL Stadium. Cheslin Kolbe played a key role in the win, according to IOL, with a flawless display off the kicking tee.

The win comes after the All Blacks triumphed in the first Test at Ellis Park. According to The Citizen, a loss in this match would have meant the Springboks were unable to win the series, and would have been left fighting for a drawn series over the final two games.

Thomas du Toit, Bok prop, said the team had put their previous loss behind them and were focusing on the current match. He explained that the team had a habit of putting each game in its "own box" to focus on the present and not be overburdened by past or future results.
