South Africa Delivers a Resounding Conclusion to World Cup Preparations, Defeating 14-Player New Zealand 35-7 at a Packed Twickenham

In the final match before their journey to France, the World Champion Springboks showcased their readiness with an emphatic victory, securing their largest-ever triumph against a 14-player New Zealand. The sold-out Twickenham stadium witnessed a masterclass from South Africa, who dominated the proceedings.

The All Blacks faced an early setback as lock Scott Barrett was shown two yellow cards in the first half, leading to his dismissal. The world champions took advantage of the situation, entering halftime with a 14-0 lead courtesy of tries from captain Siya Kolisi and Kurt-Lee Arendse.

The second half saw South Africa's dominance continue as Malcolm Marx, Bongi Mbonambi, and Kwagga Smith crossed the try line, further extending their lead. Cam Roigard managed to salvage a late consolation try for New Zealand.

Speaking about their strategy, Kolisi stated, "We were determined not to hold anything back at Twickenham, in front of 82,000 spectators. The foundation had to be laid by our forwards, and we acknowledge that the real challenge lies ahead. Our focus is now on defending the World Cup in France."

Building on their resounding victory over Wales with a 52-16 scoreline in Cardiff the previous weekend, South Africa replicated their strong start. Early pressure forced Barrett into a 13th-minute sin-binning due to repeated New Zealand infringements. However, their momentum was hindered as prop Tyrel Lomax left the field due to a potential knee injury. The All Blacks' struggles continued as skipper Sam Kane also received a yellow card within the first 15 minutes.

Despite New Zealand's resolute defense, Kolisi managed to power through for the opening try after 18 minutes. A missed penalty by Richie Mo'unga and Arendse's interception try further extended South Africa's lead to 14-0.
