Springboks against All Blacks: Baltimore hosts final showdown in rugby's 'Greatest Rivalry'
The Springboks and All Blacks have landed in Baltimore for the final test of the “Greatest Rivalry” rugby series. South Africa's Springboks lead 2-1 and need only a draw to complete a series win. New Zealand must win to tie the series. While South Africa made only two lineup changes, New Zealand has been forced into multiple changes including a new captain after the loss of its regular leader Ardie Savea.
The three tests of the series so far have been intensely physical but the change to a neutral location might cause the teams to adopt a more elegant style.
