Context, but the series is level. It is. We've had one win each. I was watching a presser with Sia Kulisi and was it the coach? Yeah, I'm Zondi Lestig. They were quite fiery in that interview, particularly around our scrums. That's become a thing. How are we feeling about they're playing today, right? They are playing this afternoon at FB. Yeah.
But there will be no flyover. No flyover. Listen, I think it's going to be pretty exciting. Yep. I don't know about you, but personally, I think who wins today wins the series, regardless of what happens in Baltimore. Because this is a South African tour. Right. And so, yeah, it could be level and all of that. But whoever wins today, in my eyes at least, will definitely be the winner. Oh, yeah. Regardless of what happens with them both traveling to the USA for that fourth and final test. Okay. It's pretty exciting just watching it all on.
Take out. You consider the fact that the Springboks, at times this year, have been unplayable. They have won defeats across their whole season, and that was, of course, at Ellis Park to the All Blacks. And they right now will be defending number one in the world, as well as fighting for the first time in this rugby's greatest rivalry to take the lead in the series. It's a happy hunting ground for the All Blacks as well. They've won eight of their last 10 games at Altitude, having never lost at the FNB Stadium.
Rain expected for the encounter, although Captain Siokodisi says the game plan hasn't changed. This is, of course, after coach Rassie Erasmus last week made a late front row substitution. The way we prepared on Monday is still the same. If it rains, it doesn't rain. We the same mindset we had last week will have the same, but we just want to make sure that we take our opportunities a whole lot more.
Than we did the previous game. Kickoff is at five. Before that, historic FB Stadium will have an outing between the South African and the New Zealand women at half past two. Moving to football, where it Friday ended a 2-2 between Maramogalance and Pologuanes City in the Betway Premiership, a 2-1 victory for Amazulu over Richards Bay and the Kazan Derby. Another double header awaits. We still have to look forward to with Chippey United and Morford.
