This thread of clips unpacks how the Springboks made a mockery of New Zealand forwards coach Jason Ryan’s maul defensive system in a record win at Twickenham.

A fascinating area for me from Saturday’s game was the early Line-Outs from the Springboks, which earned them back-2-back penalties.
Rassie and his gang did their homework on Jason Ryan’s Maul Defense System.
