\"Springboks<\/p>\n

The Springboks sealed a 3\u20131 series victory over the All Blacks with a 43\u201328 win in the fourth Test at Baltimore's M&T Bank Stadium on Saturday, 12 September 2026. A near-capacity crowd of more than 68,000 \u2014 the largest ever for a rugby match in the United States \u2014 watched South Africa's power and bench depth again prove decisive.<\/p>\n

South Africa scored tries through Damian de Allende (two), van den Berg, Pieter-Steph du Toit, Kurt-Lee Arendse and Hanekom, with conversions shared among Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu, van den Berg and Manie Libbok. New Zealand replied with tries from Taylor, Jordan, Blackadder and Beauden Barrett, all converted by Damian McKenzie.<\/p>\n

The result completes a compelling "Rugby's Greatest Rivalry" tour series that began with an All Blacks win before the world champions clawed back, underlining both sides' ambitions ahead of next year's Rugby World Cup.<\/p>\n
