  "account": "Cheslin Kolbe suffered a jaw and shoulder injury during South Africa's 29-24 victory over New Zealand, forcing him to leave the game after just 10 minutes. The 32-year-old, a double Rugby World Cup-winning wing, was substituted with Damian Willemse out due to a hamstring injury. Kolbe's exit left New Zealand captain Ardie Savea as the only other star sidelined, as he sustained a shoulder injury and was also ruled out of the series finale in Baltimore. Head coach Rassie Erasmus expressed admiration for the All Blacks' ball handling, while acknowledging South Africa's preference for mauling. New Zealand's Dave Rennie attributed the team's struggles in the second half to errors that allowed South Africa to dominate set pieces and gain momentum.",
