All Blacks defeat Bulls 50-19 in final warm-up before Springboks test

The All Blacks secured a 50-19 victory against the Bulls at Loftus Versfeld Stadium in Pretoria, serving as their final warm-up fixture before facing the Springboks on August 22nd.

The New Zealand side scored eight tries, including two each from Josh Moorby and Leroy Carter, while captain Codie Taylor marked his 110th game with a try. The performance was noted for its clinical defensive discipline and high attacking speed despite the high altitude.

The victory raises tactical questions regarding the starting fly-half position. With Richie Mo’unga joining the squad and Damian McKenzie sidelined by injury, selection decisions remain uncertain for the upcoming test matches.
