There was a test* rugby match in Baltimore today: the fourth and final match in The Greatest Rivalry Series between the South African Springboks and the New Zealand All Blacks.
*An official international game played between two senior national teams (or recognized elite representative sides)
Congrats to South Africa for defeating New Zealand 43-28 to secure a 3-1 series victory!
The Springboks have played in the United States three times before: against the USA Eagles in 1981 and in 2001, and against Wales in 2018.
Announced attendance at M&T Bank Stadium (home of the Baltimore Ravens): 68,173.
It’s officially the largest crowd for a single rugby match in North American history. Baltimore showed out for the Springboks and All Blacks.
