Context:
As for the All Blacks, they looked lost at times during this World Cup cycle and it’s still faintly remarkable that head coach Ian Foster survived last summer as the home defeats to Ireland, South Africa and Argentina piled up.
Sensing an opportunity to strike against 14 men, the All Blacks kicked for the corner on a couple occasions out wide.
The Springboks took a 12-3 lead after 34 minutes when the All Blacks once again failed to release on their goal line.
It comes despite Argentina knocking over the All Blacks last year in Christchurch, as well as a maiden defeat in 2020 in Sydney.

Answer: The All Blacks (New Zealand national rugby team)
