All Blacks vs Springboks: Can the Boks Break the Eden Park Jinx?

The biggest clash in rugby is here! The All Blacks are set to face the Springboks at Eden Park in Auckland in the Castle Lager Rugby Championship. Both teams have a win and a loss so far, making this match crucial.

Auckland Awaits: Will History Repeat?

Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus believes the key to victory lies in handling the big moments. All Black coach Scott Robertson likely agrees. Last year, the Boks dominated those crucial moments, securing wins in Johannesburg and Cape Town. This time, the battleground shifts to Auckland, a fortress for the All Blacks, who haven't lost there since 1994.

Eden Park: A Fortress Under Siege?

Breaking the All Blacks' Eden Park streak is a massive incentive for the Springboks. It's been 12 years since the Boks last played at this venue, and there's a reason Auckland games were shifted elsewhere. The All Blacks are determined to protect their Auckland legacy and maintain their undefeated record.

More Than Just a Game

Adding to the stakes, this match marks Ardie Savea's 100th game for the All Blacks. They will want to celebrate this milestone with a victory. Will the Springboks' physicality be enough to overcome the All Blacks' home advantage and Savea's milestone moment? Only time will tell!
