Springboks vs All Blacks Test 3 2026 Live Chat

ABs rewarded for playing rugby.

Not looking good

This NZ team’s passing is quite brilliant…they are so relaxed on the ball waiting for the exact moment to release.

Bokke need to hang in there for the next 8 minutes. Another score and we'll be in trouble. Hooker knocks on and it's an AB scrum.

This 10 minutes of yellow might hurt, Boks need to hold out.

Manie with a poor goal line drop out and it would have been an easy try for the ABs if they hadn't knocked on.

Horrible botch by Manie

Carter's kick a little spicy but they won't mind that, the ABs. Territory is good.

I hate to say this, but the Boks are looking eerily reminiscent of the first Kiwi test of 2010. Ragged, awful stuff. Bad yellow call doesn't help.

Boks get a scrum penalty.

Bok scrum penalty but that push through after the whistle on a collapsed scrum is serious injuries waiting to happen.

NZ packing really low if they get any pressure…very hard not to go down

Another penalty as Ardie comes in from the side. Manie sets up the lineout.

Jacobson stopping Wiese dead.

Another penalty. Where's the yellow card for persistent infringements?

Of all the side entries we've seen from the ABs, that from Ardie was probably the least from the side. I struggle to see what's wrong.

What? Now the Boks are pinged for obstruction. Jasper the culprit . . . another penalty for not being 10.

Sacha back on but going to fullback.

Boks have done well to weather the storm while a man down . . . now on attack . . . yes! DDA sends it out to Kurt-Lee who scores!

ABs go deep on the lineout and immediately Eben steals it.

Nice work from DDA.

Why don't we allow him to pass more

Sacha has taken over the kicking and just misses a difficult one. 7-5.

Probably the best bit of play I've seen from Damian. Fair dues.

Manie with the cutout killing all our momentum. Then beautiful from DDA handing off Carter after he was beaten by Arendse just before to set up the same Arendse to score.

Well done by Dud…Arendse looking good

Man after that I'd run at Carter all game. Dude can't tackle.

Carter can run though, beating 5. ABs having to work harder for space wide today.

ABs on attack, Jordie stopped by Eben and then it's a turnover for the Boks . . . but a weak clearance from Manie . . . ABs back on attack . . . Carter nearly away but good tackle Kurt-Lee . . . Ardie is over anyway. 12-5 with the kick to come.

ABs again fail to capitalize on a golden chance.

Magnificent pick up by Savea…but clear knock

Jacobson through DDA's tackle for the gainline. Carter nearly there but Ardie picks up and scores.

Sacha chases his own kick and makes a good tackle . . . now Manie makes a good run . . . DDA to PSdT who breaks a tackles and offloads . . . it all ends with a knock-on by Eben and the ABs have a scrum.

Finally the Boks playing some rugby and getting reward.

Silly knock by Eben

Springboks playing much better rugby this week

Well the Boks can run it. Both teams' execution letting them down.

Huge set back for Nz….the best player in the series gone

Ardie looks in pain, he's off.

Jordan beats PSDT down the touch.

Ardie is off. Roigard clears, now Reinach reyurns and Hooker takes it well . . . DDA does well to get his pass away . . . through the phases until Sacha kicks it away. AB penalty.

Hectic game so far!

Easily the best one of the three

We keep cutting out the second last man in the line leaving the outside man easy pickings. Put it through the hands, create some doubt, give the inside man a chance to cut between two defenders and maybe create some space for the wing.
