The Greatest Rivalry Test 4 Review Ft Searley
<p>Well that's the Greatest Rivalry tour all done and dusted and it was a tour that lived up to the hype. This tour had high expectations but after producing 4 incredible tests full with intensity, quality rugby and of course some controversy, everything about this series was a success.</p><p>South Africa proved why they are the number 1 side in the world claiming the series 3–1, so where does that leave the All Blacks heading towards the Rugby World Cup?</p><br><p>For this episode I'm joined by Searley as we cover:</p><p><br></p><ul><li>How the Springboks won the final Test</li><li>What areas of the game cost the All Blacks in this one</li><li>We look at the controversial refereeing decisions that shaped the game</li><li>Why South Africa’s cohesion is such a major advantage</li><li>The All Blacks who raised their stocks during the tour</li><li>The positions still up for grabs ahead of the World Cup</li><li>The players who are to return to the All Blacks and where they fit</li><li>South Africa’s best performers and stock risers, including Malcolm Marx and Morné van den Berg</li><li>And heaps more</li></ul><p><br></p><p>South Africa have confirmed themselves as the best team in the world — but after using 49 players on tour, there are still plenty of reasons for New Zealand fans to feel optimistic.</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
