Springboks vs All Blacks Prediction
With the series level at 1-1, predicting the winner of the third Test is extremely difficult.
The All Blacks have already demonstrated that they can defeat South Africa in Johannesburg after winning the opening Test 33-16 at Ellis Park. However, the Springboks responded brilliantly in Cape Town, winning the second Test 33-26 and showing that they have the physical strength and tactical flexibility to challenge New Zealand over 80 minutes.
That makes Saturday’s encounter particularly intriguing.
Why the Springboks Could Win
South Africa will have a major advantage in the form of home support.
Playing at FNB Stadium in front of a huge Johannesburg crowd should provide the Springboks with enormous energy, particularly during the opening stages and late in the second half.
Rassie Erasmus has also kept most of the team that won in Cape Town together.
The Springboks’ forward pack will again be central to their strategy. Malcolm Marx, Eben Etzebeth, Pieter-Steph du Toit, Siya Kolisi and Jasper Wiese give South Africa an enormous amount of physical power.
Another interesting tactical change is the move of Cheslin Kolbe to fullback following Damian Willemse’s injury. Kolbe’s pace, footwork and ability to counterattack could give South Africa another attacking weapon from deep.
Why the All Blacks Could Win
New Zealand have already shown during this tour that they can perform under intense pressure in South Africa.
Their 33-16 victory at Ellis Park was built around attacking efficiency, defensive pressure and the ability to punish South African mistakes.
The All Blacks also know that another victory would put them 2-1 ahead in the four-Test series, meaning they would have a significant advantage heading into the final Test in Baltimore.
New Zealand will therefore be highly motivated to avoid another slow start and will look to put pressure on the Springboks through fast attacking phases and quick ball movement.
The key for the All Blacks could be their ability to remain disciplined when South Africa turn the match into a physical battle.
Our Prediction: Springboks to Edge a Thriller
The statistics and recent results suggest that this could be one of the closest Tests of the entire series.
Both teams have now beaten each other once, and both have shown periods of dominance.
The home advantage could ultimately make the difference.
Prediction: South Africa 28-24 New Zealand
We expect the Springboks to use their powerful forward game to build pressure before Kolbe, Arendse and the rest of the backline look for opportunities in broken play.
However, the All Blacks should remain dangerous throughout the match, particularly if they can secure quick possession and force South Africa’s defence to move laterally.
A late New Zealand comeback would not be a surprise, but the Springboks’ physicality and home support could be enough to get them over the line.
Predicted winner: 🇿🇦 Springboks
Predicted score: South Africa 28-24 New Zealand
That result would give the Springboks a 2-1 series lead heading into the fourth and final Test in Baltimore on September 12.
But with the All Blacks already proving that they can win in Johannesburg, nobody should expect an easy night for the home side.
FNB Stadium is ready for another classic.
Springboks vs All Blacks. 1-1 in the series. 80 minutes to decide who takes control.
