Springboks (16) 22 / All Blacks (14) 29 (Final Score)

The Springboks hosted the All Blacks in their last Tri-Nations match against one another of 2010 at FNB Stadium, Johannesburg at 17:05 SA Time. This was the match thread for discussion of the game. The match was bradcast live on SuperSport 1, SuperSport HD and M-Net.

The All Blacks won, scoring 2 quick tries in the last 3 minutes, to break the Bokke hearts and those of their supporters.

It must be said though that the Springboks showed moments of brilliance during the game though, with the Hougaard experiment working well and Juan Smith and Flip van der Merwe doing their part brilliantly too.

Jean de Vlliers shone at inside centre and Morne Steyn’s boot was as effective as ever.

… but well done Blacks, you came, you saw, you absorbed a shipload of pressure … and you won!
