What Australia’s Win Means for the Springboks, All Blacks & Wallabies

Australia’s win over South Africa has raised some fascinating questions heading towards the 2027 Rugby World Cup. The Springboks had just beaten New Zealand 3–1, yet a heavily rotated South African side was beaten 42–38 by the Wallabies in Perth. So what does it actually mean? Is this the first sign that South Africa’s incredible depth is beginning to fall away? Have we overestimated just how strong their second string is? Or is this simply one game that tells us very little about the reigning world champions? And what does it mean for Australia and New Zealand as we look towards 2027? In this video, I look at all three nations, South Africa’s depth, Australia’s resurgence under Les Kiss, and where the balance of power in Southern Hemisphere rugby might be heading. #Rugby #RugbyUnion #Springboks #Wallabies #AllBlacks #SouthAfrica #Australia #NewZealand #RugbyWorldCup #RugbyChampionship #Rugby2027
