It's been a gutting morning for the All Blacks, with the Kiwi side losing to the Springboks 29-24 in Soweto.
Ardie Savea has a dislocated shoulder, Quinn Tupaea a damaged knee and Luke Jacobson has injured a tendon in his elbow - meaning three key players will be out of commission for the final test in Baltimore.
While the All Blacks lick their wounds on the flight to the United States they're sharing with the Springboks, coach Mike Blair joined Piney to discuss what went wrong.
