The verdict· graded 22 Aug

On 22 August 2026 at Ellis Park, New Zealand beat South Africa 33-16, so the Springboks did not defeat the All Blacks.

The claim said South Africa would beat New Zealand, but the outcome was the opposite: New Zealand won 33-16. So the prediction got the winner wrong, not just the margin or details.
