|December 05, 2025
Skipper Scott Barrett on Thursday said the All Blacks had no fear of potentially meeting South Africa in the 2027 Rugby World Cup quarterfinals but admitted they must peak at the right time.
-
The rugby powerhouses, ranked one and two in the world, are on a collision course for a blockbuster last-eight clash should they both win their groups at the tournament in Australia then get through the round of 16.
The four-time champion Springboks, gunning for an unprecedented third straight title, were pitted with Italy, Georgia and Romania at the draw in Sydney on Wednesday.
New Zealand were grouped alongside Australia, Chile and debutants Hong Kong.
"Along the way you're going to play potentially number one, two and three in the world and it might not be in the final," said Barrett.
