Will the All Blacks be able to bounce back in their next match against the Springboks?

Last weekend saw the All Blacks defeated 27-31 at Ellis Park, the South Africans taking the home ground win.

They’ll be looking to turn things around this weekend, when they face them again at Cape Town Stadium.

Coach Scott Robertson told Mike Hosking that it’s going to be another hell of a test.

He said that even though it’s at a different stadium this time, it’s still going to be as fierce as it ever was.

“The Springboks, you know, when they roll up, they roll up.”

Scott Robertson: All Blacks Coach ahead of the second match against the Springboks this weekend

Australian police arrested 170 climate activists over the weekend after their floating blockade briefly disrupted activity at one of the world’s largest coal ports.

The fleet of kayaks, paddle boards and inflatable boats blocked the entrance to the Port of Newcastle, which exports millions of tonnes of coal each year.

Police said on Sunday evening 156 adults and 14 youths had been arrested and charged with offences including 'disruption of a major facility'.

Australian correspondent Steve Price says shipping was temporarily paused as the group blocked at least one major vessel from entering the port. 

"The Greens leader was there, looking like a fool, they were called 'numbskulls', and it was dangerous - really, really dangerous. We'll wait and see what happens in court."

Steve Price: Australian correspondent on authorities arresting 170 people involved in floating blockade of Australian port

Surely the TJ Perenara performance is a sign of the times?

How far back (small clue, not far) do you need to go to think that this sort of extra curricular activity would never have even been close to being countenanced by an All Black squad?

Not long ago, essentially, sport was sport.

It got political in the Springbok apartheid era, but that was politics from the outside in, not the other way around.

It was Perenara's last time in the jersey, so why not leave with a message? I think that would be the argument for many but, what sort of message?

If one of the blokes from rural New Zealand decided to slip in some support in the post match interview for the current gun reform, or the gang patch laws, how do you think that would go down?

David Seymour, who quite sensibly asked in response to the Perenara views just what bit of equal rights do you not support, is kind of on a hiding to nothing.

We have entrenched camps on this one. No one is in the middle. You either believe in the idea that we are all equal, or you don’t.

Perhaps more worryingly Perenara's performance was spoken about with management and supported by them, so credit to him that it wasn’t some mad, spur-of-the-moment outburst.

For the record, when he says it's important to him, no one doubts him.

But lots of things are important to lots of people. But within all our lives are constraints.

One of the constraints around being an All Black is you represent the country as an elite athlete, not a politician or an activist.

As we saw in a much lesser way last week, the woman who may well head up content and news for the state-owned TV station took leave to go on the Treaty protest. Quite rightly, many asked whether that was wise.

We can ask the same question of Perenara and, given he had All Black mangement blessing, we can ask that question of them too.

If the criteria for protest as an All Black is passion, then we are asking for trouble.

What we want in All Blacks are sports people of integrity, professionalism and, preferably, an ability to win a lot.

The rest of it risks damaging the brand, insulting fans and distracting us from the main point of the outing.
