South Africa sealed a 3-1 series victory over New Zealand with a decisive 43-28 win in the fourth Test, played at the M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore. The game drew a near-capacity crowd of 68,173, setting a new record for the largest rugby crowd in the United States. South Africa's strong forward play and deep bench were key to their success, as they built on wins from the first three matches of the series. New Zealand started the match with a strong opening, scoring an early try through hooker Codie Taylor after a quick "tiki-taka" move—a style of rugby characterized by short, quick passes to maintain possession. South Africa responded quickly, with tries from Damian de Allende and Morne van den Berg, giving them a 17-7 lead by the 25th minute. The Springboks, as South Africa's national team is known, controlled much of the first half, with Eben Etzebeth's strong tackle on New Zealand's Richie Mo'unga and Jasper Wiese's efforts in open play helping them maintain the advantage. New Zealand fought back before halftime, with Will Jordan scoring a try after 32 phases of sustained pressure, narrowing the gap to 17-14. However, South Africa extended their lead in the second half with tries from Malcolm Marx and Pieter-Steph du Toit. New Zealand's Ethan Blackadder scored a try to cut the lead to eight points, but South Africa continued to dominate possession and territory. Late in the game, South Africa's Kurt-Lee Arendse intercepted a loose ball deep in his own half to score a crucial try, and Cameron Hanekom added another after capitalizing on an error by New Zealand near their own line. Beauden Barrett scored a late try for New Zealand, but it was only a consolation. With the win, South Africa completed the series victory, marking a historic moment as both teams have won the past five Rugby World Cup titles.
