All Blacks captain Ardie Savea has been ruled out of the fourth Test against South Africa due to a shoulder injury he sustained during the third Test in Johannesburg. Savea was forced off after 30 minutes of the match following a collision with Springboks player Jasper Wiese, which left him in significant pain. He struggled to raise his right arm and was seen wearing a sling after New Zealand's 29-24 loss. Savea had scored two tries in an impressive start to the game, and his absence is a major setback for coach Dave Rennie as the All Blacks aim to draw the series with a victory in Baltimore next Saturday. Rennie confirmed that Savea's injury is a shoulder injury, though he was unsure if it was dislocated. He stated that Savea would not be traveling to the United States for the fourth Test. Rennie noted that Savea had been a key player, but Wallace Sititi came on and performed well in his place. A reshuffle in the back row is expected, as flanker Luke Jacobson has also suffered an elbow injury during the third Test. Outside centre Quinn Tupaea is set to miss the fourth Test with a knee injury, and Rennie suggested that Tupaea may have MCL damage, though further investigation is needed. The fourth Test will take place at M&T Bank Stadium, the home of the NFL’s Baltimore Ravens, on Saturday evening. The venue, known for its large capacity and state-of-the-art facilities, is expected to provide a challenging environment for both teams. Springboks wing Cheslin Kolbe has broken his jaw and will not travel to the United States, but Grant Williams, Damian Willemse, and Canan Moodie are all back in contention for the match. With several key players sidelined, both teams face the challenge of adjusting their strategies for the final Test. The outcome of this match could determine the series result, adding extra pressure on both the All Blacks and the Springboks as they prepare for a high-stakes encounter in Baltimore.
