White is shocked at how frequently the Springboks won the gain-line battle, a feat he notes is historically challenging against New Zealand. Despite this, he acknowledges that under coach Dave Rennie, the All Blacks are on an upward trajectory as they approach the World Cup. In a detailed analysis for Rugby Pass, White pinpoints Ardie Savea's injury in the third Test as a pivotal moment that diminished New Zealand's chances. He points out that while the All Blacks are improving, they lack the physical threats they once had, mentioning powerful Springbok players like Jasper Wiese and Damian de Allende as key factors in their forward momentum. Only Jordie Barrett stands out defensively for New Zealand amid the Springboks' relentless pressure. White emphasizes the need for the All Blacks to develop players who can consistently gain post-contact meters, suggesting that the return of talents like Caleb Clarke and Leicester Fainga’anuku could be crucial. The Springboks' physicality leaves them with a significant advantage as they prepare for the upcoming challenges. #NationsChampionship #Springboks #AllBlacks #RugbyRivalry #JakeWhite #sports #podcast 🏆 More Nations Championship podcasts: https://sports-podcasts.com/en/sport/nations-championship/ 🎧 Listen to the full playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoWFEoIqbbFvypZ5JaUPiUcQ7dMN-OW5P
