Malcolm Marx delivered a magnificent performance for the Springboks as they levelled the series with an impressive 33-26 win against the All Blacks in Cape Town. The All Blacks' loss at Ellis Park the previous week gave way to a much more efficient Bok performance. Marx took control of the game, setting up tries and delivering crucial tackles.
He had better protection compared to Grant Williams in the first Test and was less caught in possession. Marx scored a superb try after just 90 seconds and made a strong cover tackle on Leroy Carter. He also made a powerful surge into the All Blacks' 22, leading to a penalty and three points. Marx was heavily marked by the opposition and had limited opportunities to carry the ball, but he compensated with his tackling and clearances.
His performance was a crucial factor in the Boks' victory, and he was praised for his well-taken try and powerful surge into the All Blacks' 22.
