KLA: Boks have All Blacks covered
Springbok wing Kurt-Lee Arendse discusses the team's tactical preparations to counter the All Blacks' attacking style in their upcoming Test match. Arendse expresses confidence in the squad's focus on internal improvements and team communication.
Why it matters
This match is a high-profile international rugby event that highlights the tactical evolution of top-tier professional sports teams.
Kurt-Lee Arendse says the Springboks have put plans in place to contain the All Blacks’ dangerous attack in Saturday’s third Test at FNB Stadium. CLINTON VAN DER BERG reports.
Arendse will make his 34th Springbok appearance on Saturday, and he arrives at it with the same unbothered calm that has carried him through 33 before it.
Even with New Zealand’s dangerous wide game to worry about, the wing sounds like a man entirely at ease.
The All Blacks’ habit of hunting space out wide is well known to the Boks by now, and Arendse says the response starts with correcting last week’s approach.
