Five Springbok stars who need to shine against All Blacks
The Mercury
|September 11, 2025
WHILE it will take a 23-man effort to secure victory in the second Test in Wellington, the Springboks will rely on key players to spark the team against the All Blacks on Saturday.
Coming off the back of a nail-biting loss at Eden Park, several senior players will look to improve their performances, while some rookies must step up in key backline positions.
We look at five players who need to deliver for the world champions if they are to win at the Cake Tin (09.05am kickoff) in New Zealand’s capital.
Malcolm Marx
The seasoned hooker admitted that his lineout performance and ability to find his jumpers werent up to scratch in the first Test. He lost multiple throws, and a crucial missed tackle from him led directly to a try.
