All Blacks coach Rennie to make changes for fourth test against Springboks

New Zealand rugby team coach Dave Rennie announced plans to make several changes to his lineup for the fourth and final test against South Africa in Baltimore. These adjustments come after New Zealand suffered a 29-24 loss in the third test in Johannesburg. Captain Ardie Savea has returned to New Zealand due to a dislocated shoulder, requiring Rennie to appoint a new leader. Luke Jacobson, who temporarily took over the captaincy, is also sidelined with an elbow injury. Codie Taylor, who previously filled in for Savea, is unlikely to return for the final match. Asafo Aumua is expected to take Taylor's place again. Additionally, Rennie faces decisions regarding the flyhalf position, with Ruben Love potentially being replaced by Richie Mo'unga, who was recently added to the squad. The team aims to tie the series 2-2 despite their current challenges.
