Mzwandile Stick expects All Blacks to stay true to attacking DNA in pivotal FNB Stadium Test
With the series level at 1-1, Springbok assistant coach Mzwandile Stick expects New Zealand to continue attacking with ball in hand when the teams meet in the third Test of Rugby's Greatest RIvalry on Saturday.
Springbok assistant coach Mzwandile Stick anticipates the All Blacks will maintain their attacking tactics for the crucial Test at FNB Stadium against the Springboks on Saturday. New Zealand's strategy throughout their tour has been to keep possession, challenge defensive structures with their attack, and score tries. They've scored nine tries in two Tests, making it tough for the Boks to defend against.
Stick believes the All Blacks will stick to their approach, having brought ball-carrying players like Asafo Aumua, Sam Darry and Peter Lakai into the starting lineup. The match, the final in Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry in South Africa, is expected to draw a crowd of over 80,000 fans. Stick noted the All Blacks' commitment to ball-in-play time and ball carriers, while the Springboks will also aim to enforce their own DNA on the field, regardless of weather conditions.
