WATCH: Blitzboks’ EPIC defensive set that ended All Blacks’ Olympic dream!
Through sheer guts and determination, the Blitzboks put on a defensive masterclass in Paris to get past the top-ranked New Zealand. Watch how they did it!
After losing to NZ by 17-5 in pool play on Wednesday, the Blitzboks hit back in style on Thursday to cause a big upset and ensure they will be playing for a medal at the Stade de France on Saturday.
This kind of backs-to-the-wall defensive display is what epitomised the Neil Powell era, and it was great to see the Blitzboks — especially the older players in the squad — call on all their experience and might and putting their bodies on the line to halt New Zealand in their tracks.
The Blitzboks will now face France in the semi-final, with kick-off scheduled for 15h30 on Saturday afternoon.
