All Blacks not out of Championship contention

The All Blacks lost the first Test against South Africa at Mbombela Stadium. They are still in the Rugby Championship. Ian Foster has made four changes for Saturday's match at Ellis Park. He has Ethan de Groot, Tyrell Lomax, Shannon Frizell, Richie Mo'unga, Beaudy Barrett and Fletcher Newell. Foster is impressed with Newel off the back of an impressive season with the Crusaders. He doesn't think the lack of exposure to playing at altitude in Super Rugby was a factor for the side. The first game was played at Nelspruit. It was at the altitude, although not as high as Johannesburg.
