All Blacks Alter Lineup for Springboks Test
New Zealand's All Blacks have made significant changes ahead of their Rugby Championship Test against South Africa in Cape Town, with Beauden Barrett and TJ Perenara benched. Head coach Scott Robertson has opted for Cortez Ratima at scrumhalf and Will Jordan at fullback, while wings Mark Tele’a and Sevu Reece complete a revamped back three due to injuries to Caleb Clarke and Ethan Blackadder. Wallace Sititi, at just 21 years old, will make his second test start at blindside flanker. Robertson emphasized that Barrett and Perenara's experience will be crucial off the bench, as New Zealand seeks to avoid losing four straight matches to South Africa for the first time since 1949. The All Blacks must win to keep the Freedom Cup, contested since 2004, and bounce back from last weekend's 31-27 defeat. The match is eagerly anticipated, with both teams vying for dominance in the championship.
