So when former All Blacks made a stunning admission about the Springboks, it immediately grabbed attention. Their words carried more weight because they came from men who know the pressure, history, and physical toll of this battle better than most. It was not the kind of comment fans expected to hear, especially from voices so closely tied to New Zealand’s proud rugby legacy.
