Difficult to see anything other than a big win for NZ but I hope the SA pack can push them around a bit.

New Zealand media writing the food poisoning articles as we speak

 

[9215.]

What a game! 86% possession so far

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

SA 12 looks like someone took a 2 and painted a 1 in front, what a shape for a centre.

Yay, Ali's home, can start now.
Presumably they're around half time

Yes, a few minutes into half time, enjoy

I’m loving this match but there’s one thing I haven’t understood - for the 2 all-in mauls, the jumpers were the 15 and the 9, why not use regular jumpers? They’d have been in trouble if they’d lost the lineout.

 

[Which Tyler]

That was an excellent game of rugby, watching NZ working it out on the pitch, how to neutralise, and then exploit SA.
NZ have certainly found that next year about I was talking about in the England thread.

May only have been a contest for 1 half, but always interesting.

Hats off to South Africa, really come into themselves since the last time I saw them play. But they'll need to find some silkier skills, as France and NZ have shown, brutality will only get you so far - especially now that that hand has been shown.
