South Africa vs New Zealand Live
The South Africa vs New Zealand 4th Test live streams will showcase a deciding match in the Rugby's Greatest Rivalry series. The Springboks emerged as winners from another fiercely contested clash in Johannesburg last Saturday to take a 2-1 lead, so they will be aiming to clinch overall victory.
Rassie Erasmus' side fought back to triumph 29-24 in a pulsating 3rd Test, as they overpowered New Zealand in the second half. That gave the Springboks an unofficial series victory across the three matches played in South Africa, but there remains plenty to play for as the teams cross the Atlantic ahead of the finale at Baltimore's 71,000-capacity M&T Bank Stadium.
The two-time reigning world champions will be without star back Cheslin Kolbe after he suffered a broken jaw in Johannesburg, with fit-again Damian Willemse replacing the full-back. Morne van den Berg gets a start at scrum-half, with Cobus Reinach swapping to bench.
New Zealand led 17-12 in the second half as they eyed just their second series win in South Africa, and their first since 1996, but they must now pick themselves up as they bid to level the series at 2-2. The All Blacks must do it without captain Ardie Savea following the captain's dislocated shoulder in the 3d Test, while Quinn Tupaea and Luke Jacobson, who finished last weekend's game as skipper, miss out due to knee and elbow injuries respectively. Meanwhile, Fabian Holland is absent through illness.
Head coach Dave Rennie has made eight changes to his XV, including an all-new front row. Hooker Codie Taylor returns to captain New Zealand, while Ethan de Groot and Fletcher Newell also start. The latter is one of five players making their first Test starts of the series, along with lock Patrick Tuipulotu, back-row Ethan Blackadder, fly-half Richie Mo'unga and centre Anton Lienert-Brown. Josh Moorby is also back in the XV. This is the teams' first-ever meeting on US soil, the Boks having recovered from their 1st Test defeat to take the advantage heading into the decider.
