What a season for the Boks

>>> The Springboks celebrated a third straight fantastic season of dominance with a thumping record win over Wales in Cardiff to close out their 2025 campaign in style over the past weekend. It saw the reigning double world champions end the year with an impressive 13 wins out of 15 games, with one of those positive results a non-Test against the invi- tational Barbarians side. The Boks took a bit of time to get going, after starting off on an unsteady note, with a few un- convincing wins in the Tests in June and July, before losses against the Wallabies in Cape Town and All Blacks at Eden Park meant they had five wins and two losses to their name at that stage. But a record victory against the All Blacks in Wellington kick-started a brilliant eight match winning run over the rest of the season, that saw the Boks secure back- to-back Rugby Championship titles, and go on an unbeaten end-of-year-tour to the UK and Europe. Ross Roche takes a look at the key moments from their season.

The Springboks had a number of highs over the year with some top results against major teams.

► Arguably their biggest win was their record 43-10 hammering of their fiercest rivals, the All Blacks, in Wellington, which was their biggest victory in New Zealand and overall, eclipsing their 35-7 win over them at Twickenham in 2023.
