The South African Springboks will lead the New Zealand All Blacks 3-0 after the first three tests of the series.

“It'll be 3-0 before we go to that, you know, the traditional end of the traditional series decided of Springbok to all black rugby for hundreds of years, Baltimore. It'll be 3-0.”

The verdict· graded 23 Aug

The All Blacks won the first test 33-16, so South Africa could not be 3-0 up after the first three tests.

The claim predicted South Africa would be 3-0 up after the first three tests, but the first test was won by the All Blacks 33-16. That makes the 3-0 South African lead impossible, so the claim was wrong.
