The All Blacks’ decision to kick to the corner in the 51st minute of the World Cup final against South Africa is being questioned by former World Cup winners. With the score at 12-6 and New Zealand down to 14 players due to a yellow card, they opted to go for a potential try instead of taking the three points. However, the move didn’t pay off as Will Jordan knocked the ball on and the Springboks defended successfully. Conrad Smith, Jean de Villiers, and Ugo Monye discussed the decision on a podcast, with Smith admitting he was confused by the call. Monye defended the players’ right to make feel-based decisions, while de Villiers believed it was the right call for South Africa.
