South Africans flock to the US for historic Springbok Test
South Africans are travelling from across the US and abroad for the first Springbok Test in America
South Africans have been flocking to Baltimore, United States, in anticipation of South Africa's final match against New Zealand in the historic Springbok Test series. This marks the first time the Springboks will play in the US in over two decades. The scale of the support for the team has been remarkable, with more than 70-thousand spectators expected for the game at M&T Bank Stadium.
This match is a crucial one for South Africa, as they aim to secure the series after leading 2-1 against the All Blacks. The South African supporters' enthusiasm was apparent from the beginning, with hundreds of fans welcoming the team upon their arrival in Baltimore on Sunday. Organisations like the Braai Army ensured that fans had a dedicated 650-seat area inside the stadium to celebrate the occasion.
While the All Blacks will be aiming to draw the series at 2-2, a victory for the number one-ranked South African team would result in a 3-1 series win, marking a significant achievement for the Springboks in their greatest rivalry with New Zealand.
