Storm brewing: Boks and All Blacks barely spoke on flight to USA, Jasper Wiese reveals
Jasper Wiese says there was little conversation between the Springboks and All Blacks on their flight to Baltimore after South Africa’s 29-24 win at FNB Stadium.
Ardie Savea's absence won't affect the Springboks' strategy for their upcoming match against the All Blacks in Baltimore, USA, according to Springbok eighthman Jasper Wiese. The injury to the All Blacks' captain, coupled with their loss to the Springboks, leaves the series tied at 2-2. Wiese stated that they are preparing as if Savea were at full strength, as their other loose forwards are just as experienced, having played in big games before.
He expects the All Blacks to play aggressively in the final match, as they aim to secure a 3-1 series win, which would be the perfect end for them after their loss in the opener. Wiese highlighted their strong bond with the All Blacks, noting that they will give their opponents the respect they deserve, just as they do for any loose forward.
