OPINION: The All Blacks will have noted three key factors in the Wallabies' shock victory.

The Wallabies secured a 42-38 victory over the Springboks in a test match highlighting three critical factors for the All Blacks. These factors include gaps in South Africa's squad depth, the crucial role of set pieces, and the necessity of controlling the kicking game. South Africa made 13 changes from their previous lineup that faced the All Blacks.
Despite coach Rassie Erasmus introducing key substitutes like Malcolm Marx, Ox Nche, and Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu around the 45-minute mark, the Wallabies continued to apply pressure. Australia held firm at the scrum, controlled the lineouts, and maintained effective wide ball movement with minimal handling errors throughout the contest.
