Boks make it four from four in more than one way.
It was the fourth round of the annual Rugby Championship in 2024. The Boks aimed to secure a perfect record of four wins, while the All Blacks sought to revive their campaign. The stakes were high in this intense battle. South Africa was vying for the Freedom Cup, a trophy they hadn't claimed since 2009.
The match didn't live up to the excitement we had hoped for, as neither team capitalized on the opportunities that arose. As a result, the scoreline stayed at 9-3 in favour of the visitors.
The match's second half began with more vigor as South Africa hit their stride. They managed to score a try via substitute hooker Malcolm Marx after maintaining prolonged pressure on the All Blacks. Referee Matt Carley remained consistent in his decision-making, ensuring fair play on both sides.
Ultimately, the two tries by the Boks secured their fourth victory in this year's championship and marked a fourth consecutive win against their longstanding rivals. This achievement was last reached in 1949. The final score stood at 18-12 in favour of the Boks. While the match may not have been the most thrilling, securing another win against our archenemies was gratifying.
