The All Blacks fell short of Rugby World Cup glory, losing to the Springboks in the final. South Africa's victory has led to discussions about the need for a change in teams' approach. The defeat also marked the end of Ian Foster's tenure as the All Blacks' head coach. The red card received by All Blacks captain Sam Cane was seen as a turning point in the match. Following the World Cup, the Springboks have become the number-one ranked team, while the All Blacks dropped to third place. The updated rankings show South Africa in first place, followed by Ireland, New Zealand, France, and England.
The world champion Springboks have to evolve their personnel, but not their tactical philosophy, writes RYAN VREDE. https://t.co/6c75oPBbOB
