color: #000000;\">After slipping to near anonymity for a considerable period, the All Blacks have climbed back to the top of world rugby following the Wallabies stunning performance in Johannesburg over the Springboks, and their own demolition of the Pumas in Argentina.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The Men in Black have been rebuilding in measured strides unlike the Wallabies who have stunned the non believers in their last two outings\u00a0 and are now regarded as a different and difficult proposition.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The All Blacks reflection after a gruelling battle with the Argentinians in Cordoba, Buenos Aires unearthed the value of bench strength and depth in its ranks that saw them pull away for a hard fought 41-24 victory.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-157131 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/All-Blacks-climb-back-to-number-one-ranking-and-Wallabies-dream-of-a-series-win-10.jpg\" alt=\"All Blacks climb back to number one ranking and Wallabies dream of a series win\" width=\"600\" height=\"750\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">What is also intriguing is the sudden slide by the former world number one South Africans who are now in danger of slipping from their current ranking of third, to possibly sixth, if they drop the series against a resurgent Wallabies who are determined not to be overawed by reputation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The Wallabies themselves can climb to third with a series triumph after dwelling around eighth before the Springbok tour.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The startling Wallabies win in game one, turning a 5-32 half time deficit into a 38-22 victory, has obviously rocked Springboks rugby with coach Rassie Erasmus making drastic changes for the second Test in an attempt to reverse the capitulation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">With four players including skipper Siya Kolisi from game one ruled out through injury,\u00a0 Erasmus has identified South Africa&#8217;s weakness among the backs reshuffling almost the whole line-up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-157138 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/All-Blacks-climb-back-to-number-one-ranking-and-Wallabies-dream-of-a-series-win-3.jpg\" alt=\"All Blacks climb back to number one ranking and Wallabies dream of a series win\" width=\"600\" height=\"750\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Ten changes for game two clearly suggests panic in the Springboks camp as the reshuffle brings back talented playmaker Handre Pollard, Damian de Allende, Cheshm Kolbe, Canada Moodie while veteran Willie le Roux returns to the last line of defence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">If the succumb again, there will be no excuses as this is an almost full strength Springboks side.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The Wallabies will have their work cut out to contain them. But if they do achieve something special it will be another memorable milestone of back-to-back wins over the Springboks they have not achieved since 1963.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-157139\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/All-Blacks-climb-back-to-number-one-ranking-and-Wallabies-dream-of-a-series-win-2.jpg\" alt=\"All Blacks climb back to number one ranking and Wallabies dream of a series win\" width=\"600\" height=\"448\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-157136\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/All-Blacks-climb-back-to-number-one-ranking-and-Wallabies-dream-of-a-series-win-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"658\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-157137\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/All-Blacks-climb-back-to-number-one-ranking-and-Wallabies-dream-of-a-series-win-4.jpg\" alt=\"All Blacks climb back to number one ranking and Wallabies dream of a series win\" width=\"600\" height=\"418\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-157135\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/All-Blacks-climb-back-to-number-one-ranking-and-Wallabies-dream-of-a-series-win-6.jpg\" alt=\"All Blacks climb back to number one ranking and Wallabies dream of a series win\" width=\"600\" height=\"402\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-157134\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/All-Blacks-climb-back-to-number-one-ranking-and-Wallabies-dream-of-a-series-win-7.jpg\" alt=\"All Blacks climb back to number one ranking and Wallabies dream of a series win\" width=\"600\" height=\"750\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-157133\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/All-Blacks-climb-back-to-number-one-ranking-and-Wallabies-dream-of-a-series-win-8.jpg\" alt=\"All Blacks climb back to number one ranking and Wallabies dream of a series win\" width=\"600\" height=\"750\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-157132\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/All-Blacks-climb-back-to-number-one-ranking-and-Wallabies-dream-of-a-series-win-9.jpg\" alt=\"All Blacks climb back to number one ranking and Wallabies dream of a series win\" width=\"600\" height=\"312\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><em><a style=\"color: #800000;\" href=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/elanka-newsletter-sign-up\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Click here to receive your free copy of the eLanka Newsletter twice a week delivered directly\u00a0to\u00a0your\u00a0inbox!<\/strong><\/a><\/em><\/span><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All Blacks climb back to number one ranking and Wallabies dream of a series win. &#8211; BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE.\u00a0 (eLanka Sports Editor).
