South Africa v New Zealand: Like the past three years, All Blacks have been a class apart in Rugby Championship
- 853
There is nothing merely mythical about New
Zealand’s dominance of the world game, nothing in that fabled black
jersey alone that gives them an inherent advantage as every South
African in the Ellis Park crowd on Saturday afternoon would testify.
They too are proud of their rugby heritage but they know that their team
will have to overcome a significant statistical imbalance if New Zealand are
to be beaten for only the second time since the 2011 Rugby World Cup.
New
Zealand are a class apart in so many aspects, a loss to England
their only real blemish in three year…
