A low-flying aircraft flyover before the All Blacks’ Test against the Springboks leaves rugby fans shocked, with many saying the planes appeared to pass unusually close to the stadium.

The reports describe a pre-match flyover that draws attention among spectators, with the main point across outlets being the perceived proximity of the aircraft as the teams move toward kick-off. Coverage focuses on the reaction from fans rather than on any immediate disruption to the match.

While the articles share the same core account, they differ mainly in framing and detail due to their regional audiences. All three identify the same event as part of the Test-day proceedings and emphasize that the closeness of the aircraft contributes to the surprise.
