Erasmus Urges Springboks Backs to Risk More as Rugby Series Finale with New Zealand Looms
The winner takes the Rugby's Greatest Rivalry trophy, while the loser leaves the series tied 2-2 after three close Tests in South Africa.
- The Springboks and All Blacks will contest the final Rugby's Greatest Rivalry Test on Saturday at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, USA, concluding their four-match series.
- South Africa leads the series 2-1 following a 29-24 victory in Johannesburg last weekend, while the All Blacks hope to square the first traditional series between them in 30 years.
- Head coach Rassie Erasmus recalled Damian Willemse to fullback for injured Cheslin Kolbe and rewarded scrumhalf Van den Berg with his first series start after a "fantasic impact" off the bench.
- Victory would clinch a 3-1 series win for the Springboks, whereas an All Blacks triumph forces a 2-2 draw, sharing the trophy which was designed to be divided if tied.
- The 70,745-capacity M&T Bank Stadium hosts its first rugby match this weekend, serving as the NFL home of the Baltimore Ravens that typically hosts American football, soccer, and lacrosse.
