What a test match that was this morning between both New Zealand and South Africa at a sold out Eden Park Stadium in Auckland.
There’s a clip that’s doing the rounds on social media that shows the incredible pace of Ardie Savea in being able to stay up with Springboks speedster Cheslin Kolbe. Have a look below ..
What a player Savea is; toe to toe with Kolbe over 40 yards and doesn’t yield an inch#NZLvRSA pic.twitter.com/lkHn7YJDP3

Here are some of the comments online ..
The current Boks have a batch of players who are rapidly reaching their sell by date. Kobe, although he’s still a great player, is unfortunately one of them, and has lost a yard…
He just managed to keep pace. But, in fairness, Kolbe put in a kick and ran around a player before behind able to sprint. Would’ve been interesting if it went straight towards the line and we had a few more metres to witness. 🙆🏽♂️
