South Africa v New Zealand · M&T Bank Stadium

There was no flyover in Baltimore. So we made one.

The Springboks and the All Blacks meet on American soil for the first time, and nothing is going over the roof beforehand. 3dflypass.com sends a Springbok instead: cape, twin jetpack, one tap to climb, one browser tab, no download and no app store. Fly the harbour, thread the rings, and see how low you dare take him over M&T Bank Stadium.

There is no flyover in Baltimore on Saturday. So one person built one.

A free browser game puts a jetpacked Springbok over M&T Bank Stadium ahead of South Africa v New Zealand — one tap to fly, nothing to download.

When South Africa and New Zealand meet at M&T Bank Stadium, Baltimore, on Saturday 12 September (5pm EDT, 11pm in South Africa, 9am Sunday in New Zealand), there will be no aircraft over the roof. 3dflypass.com is the answer to that: a free game that runs in any phone or laptop browser and hands the player a caped Springbok on a twin jetpack, with a hand-built Baltimore to fly him over.

The whole game is one control. Tap to climb, let go to fall. Each lap runs a 2,309-metre circuit that takes the player low over M&T Bank Stadium — the game measures, to a tenth of a metre, how much air was left between the Springbok and the roof — then out over the Inner Harbor, Federal Hill and Camden Yards and up into a nine-ring aerial arc where everything scores double.

It began with a real flypast. In August, two Airlink jets flew a low formation pass over Cape Town Stadium before the Springboks played the All Blacks, and the footage travelled around the world. The game recreated that pass, then followed the tour ground by ground — Kings Park, Loftus Versfeld, Ellis Park, Cape Town Stadium, FNB Stadium — adding each stadium as the tour reached it. Baltimore is the last stop, and the only one 7,000 miles from either country. Nothing with wings flies over an American stadium in the game; the mascots go alone.

Players choose their side. The Springbok flies by default; the Kiwi — wings, twin thrusters, silver fern — is one tap away, and is the default for anyone opening the game in New Zealand. Forty-six real player shirts hang along the circuit to be collected, there is a global leaderboard ranked by country, and a run can be shared with a link that drops the recipient onto the same ground with the score to beat.

The game was built by Greg Dooley, an independent developer in York, UK, in a single HTML file: every stadium and city in it is generated in code rather than downloaded, so it opens in seconds on a phone. It is free, carries no advertising and needs no account.

Draft quote — for Greg Dooley to approve or replace before use

“A flypast is thirty seconds that a hundred thousand people wait three hours for, and Baltimore isn’t getting one. So I put it in the browser. Tap once and you’re over the roof.”

Baltimore is the last stop of the All Blacks’ 2026 tour of South Africa, and the only one played 7,000 miles from either country. The game has followed the tour ground by ground since Kings Park in August; this is the one it now opens on.

The story

03

A stadium flypast is a thirty-second thing that a hundred thousand people wait three hours for. Baltimore is not getting one. So the flyover moved into the browser: a hand-built model of M&T Bank Stadium — purple seats, the notched roof arcs, the club band, the goalposts — sitting in a hand-built Baltimore, with the Inner Harbor, Federal Hill, Locust Point, Camden Yards and the Patapsco all where they should be.

Baltimore is flown by the Springbok — cape, twin jetpack, no aircraft. The Kiwi is one tap away, and is the default for anyone who opens the game in New Zealand. Nothing with wings goes over the stadium there, but the bowl below him is full: a packed house in green, gold and black, thirty players on the pitch, and a roar as he clears the roof. The two Airlink jets of the real flypast are still in the game at the South African grounds.

The whole thing is one control. Tap to climb, let go to fall, and the jetpack does the rest. Each lap runs a 2,309-metre circuit that drops you over the roof and then, on the far side, throws you at a nine-ring aerial arc whose highest ring sits 98 metres above the ground. Come out of the top of it clean and he rolls right through. Misjudge it and you are in the harbour, where the paddle boats are unimpressed.

There is a lot in it for people who care: forty-six real shirts to collect, ten pieces of genuine memorabilia from both unions’ histories, a scoreboard that knows the actual fixture, a global leaderboard ranked by country, and a night sky that arrives on the fifth lap with real stars and the odd shooting one. It began with the Airlink flypast at Cape Town in August; Baltimore is where the tour ends.

South Africa play New Zealand in Baltimore on Saturday and there is no flypast. A browser game has stepped in: 3dflypass.com puts a caped, jetpacked Springbok over a hand-built M&T Bank Stadium with one control, one tap, and a clearance readout that judges your nerve.
Full paragraph 98 words
When the Springboks and the All Blacks meet at M&T Bank Stadium on Saturday 12 September — the first time the two sides have played each other in the United States — there will be no aircraft over the roof. 3dflypass.com is the answer to that: a free browser game that hands you a caped Springbok on a twin jetpack and a hand-built Baltimore to fly him over. One tap climbs, releasing drops, and the game measures to a tenth of a metre how close you came to the roofline. Forty-six collectable shirts, a nine-ring aerial arc and a night sky are in there too. No download, phone or laptop.
