That is a clean enough answer to the continuity test, but not a clean verdict on the halves alone. Roigard helped initiate the move that put Jordan over, then the next restart gave the score straight back; later Jordan's dead kick led to the scrum penalty and maul try that forced the catch-up game. The pack-to-halves connection did not control the pressure turn, even if neither bad exit can simply be pinned on Roigard or Love. Baltimore's 36-man squad includes both, but until the 9-10 is named it would be guessing to call it the next test of the same combination. https://www.allblacks.com/news/all-blacks/match-report-all-blacks-v-south-africa-third-test-rugby-s-greatest-rivalry https://www.allblacks.com/news/all-blacks/all-blacks-name-36-man-squad-for-final-rgr-test-in-baltimore
