Boks most dominant game in 2026

What has been the Boks most dominant game this year?

For me, I think it was the English game.

Weirdly, or not so weirdly, the back row was comprised of Cam, Jasper and Divvy.

Most of us thought that both Cam and Div had quiet games but I'm now starting to think that both of them actually just did a lot of good unseen work.

Outside of set piece, the Boks haven't felt uber dominant over the Kiwis in this series. The rucks have constantly felt like a gamble. And I'm starting to wonder if the Jasper is struggling to pick up PSDT's slack.

I didn't feel England was too far off the pace in that game. It was 31-21 with 10 to go before England were reduced to 13 with two yellows and the Boks scored 14 more in that period. England had manufactured at least 2-3 clear scoring chances during the game that they somehow managed to botch at the last second - remember Atkinson dropping the offload on the tryline or DDA somehow holding Marcus Smith short when he was all but over. I'd say a comfortable-ish win but not as dominant as it looked on the scoreboard.

My vote would probably be for AB test 2 or 3 - or the first 55 minutes of the first test, where I really thought we were going to blow the score out until we took the scrumming for penalties thing too far and let the ABs back in.

I thought we played a well balanced game in the 3rd test, but those soft Carter moments probably skew it a bit in our favour. Tough call. Maybe the second test that we won well despite Gardner being blind as a bat?
