Gavin Rich's second-test wrap centres on the genuine selection dilemma Erasmus faces heading into Saturday's FNB Stadium decider. Rassie had telegraphed a plan to rotate heavily for Cape Town had the Boks won in Johannesburg — but they didn't, so the bulk of the Ellis Park side backed up at DHL Stadium instead. Now, with a third consecutive game looming, he has to decide whether to trust continuity over freshness, knowing the alternative combinations haven't played together in weeks — the same lack of cohesion that cost the Boks in the first test. Rich also flags a tactical concern that cuts through the two-test series pattern: despite winning the power game in both tests, the Boks have conceded nine tries to four across 160 minutes, and the All Blacks — far more dangerous than Rennie's teams of recent years by Erasmus's own admission — have shown a clear ability to avoid contact and keep the ball alive. The refereeing of the scrum in Cape Town is identified as a significant factor, with Bok dominance in that phase effectively neutralised. Willemse is confirmed out with a hamstring injury, opening the door for a Libbok/Feinberg-Mngomezulu combination that showed promise off the bench. Etzebeth's form is the standout positive — 18 tackles, lineout disruption, carrying throughout — but whether he goes again for a third straight week is part of the selection puzzle Rassie must solve before Monday's announcement.
