  "account": "Springbok wing player Kurt-Lee Arendse revealed that his team is focusing on improving their defense in preparation for the third Rugby's Greatest Rivalry Test against the All Blacks at the FNB Stadium in Soweto on Saturday. The All Blacks have scored more tries than the Boks in both Test matches so far - five in their 33-16 victory at Ellis Park and four in the second Test in Cape Town. Arendse stated that they have been working hard to negate the All Blacks' attacking prowess, emphasizing that they aim to prevent the All Blacks from scoring points in the upcoming match. He added that playing in front of around 90,000 spectators at the FNB Stadium excited him, and he shared a laugh about being asked about the scrum controversy between the two teams.",
  "summary": "The All Blacks have managed to beat the Springboks on the edges during the series, scoring a number of quality tries.",
