Jamie Wall predicts that the New Zealand All Blacks will defeat the South Africa Springboks by 26-19 in the rugby test match at Ellis Park on 2026-08-22.

Well, it's not going to be 57-0, I can tell you that much. It's going to be, I think it's going to be quite tight. I think it's going to be about two tries to one. I'm going to say hand on my heart, 26-19 to the All Blacks.

The verdict· graded 23 Aug

New Zealand beat South Africa 33-16 at Ellis Park on 22 August 2026, so the All Blacks did not win 26-19. (Score corrected by the desk: the original automated resolution reported a 31-27 South Africa win, contradicting nine other resolutions of the same match.)

The call named the right winner but the wrong scoreline: the All Blacks did win, but 33-16 rather than 26-19, so the predicted margin was out by eleven points.
