The Mike Tyson quote doing the rounds in the All Blacks camp says it all: they've spent three Tests knowing exactly what the Springboks would bring and getting steamrolled anyway. Heading into the Baltimore decider, Patrick Tuipulotu is candid about where New Zealand have been undone — set-piece dominance, maul execution, penalty concession rates giving the Boks easy 22 entries — and insists 'plans' are in place to be more competitive in all three areas. Mo'unga's return at ten and Tuipulotu's own inclusion from the start signal Rennie is reshuffling to find answers. But Tuipulotu's honesty is telling: he acknowledges South Africa have consistently found ways to apply pressure regardless of what New Zealand prepare, and that closing a series with a draw rather than a win is the realistic ceiling. Erasmus, meanwhile, has changed almost nothing — two tweaks to a starting lineup that has dominated the series — which is a statement in itself.
