Peaks/Flops New Zealand-South Africa: Savia on the ramparts, Barrett almost cost blacks dearly

All blacks avoid the worst and raise their heads above the water. With a 23-35 win on South African soil, the New Zealanders are finding the way to victory after three straight defeats.

Ardi Savia, the last stronghold

Here’s someone the All Blacks fans can thank. Imperial in defense until the end of the match, the best New Zealand player of the day allowed his people not to benefit from at least two or three extra attempts. In poor defense, he’s one of the few to make it through his match, along with Jordan who was excellent in the air.

Rieko Ioane, All Risk Insurance

Like his 80-meter shot in Haveli’s attempt in the 73rd minute, Ewan made a great game that contributed greatly to his team’s success. He hasn’t scored yet… He will have left his mark in this meeting.

I am the rounder

As for the Springboks, Lukhanyo Am was exceptional. Ample breakthroughs, he tried in the 37th minute, the leading representative of South Africa’s attacks… It’s a full performance by the No. 13 from the last world champions for their nation.

South Africa cracked in the final

By winning Division One (26-10 on August 6), the Springboks imposed a tough test on the All Blacks who came for revenge on Saturday. And it didn’t fail. In a real 80-minute battle, South Africa finally cracked in the early and last moments of the match by conceding 0-15 quickly and not resisting the Blacks at the end of the match. One everywhere between the two peoples.

Barrett scared his people

The Blacks’ No. 22 was guilty of a handicap in the Springboks’ recovery minutes at the end of the game. Without his erratic interference, it was certainly a test of course, but the New Zealanders had to play at 14 until three minutes from the final whistle…not easy in the current context.
