Ardie Savea shoulder injury sparks All Blacks loss to Springboks 29-24, All Blacks lead four-test series 2-1

At Roar 2 stadium in Brisbane on September 5, 2026, after 80 minutes of tense play, All Blacks allowed South Africa to take a 29-24 lead in the third match of the four-test series. The phrase 'very close with not a hell of a lot in it' from coach Dave Rennie echoed through press conferences, but for Vietnamese fans watching from Paris, this was a heartbreaking defeat. Captain Ardie Savea, who scored two key tries, suffered a shoulder injury in the 9th minute before halftime, removing the team's inspirational leader and attacking firepower. A strong shoulder charge from a Springboks player forced Savea off, and from then on, South Africa dominated with forward control. This was more than a rugby match; it was a lesson in resilience from the sport we Vietnamese love, where the injury of a star can shift the entire game.
