Tri-Nations: Springboks vs All Blacks – Game Thread

Published 20 August 2011 | By grootblousmile

Springboks (15) 18 / All Blacks (5) 5 (Final Score)

The South African Springboks hosted the New Zealand All Blacks at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium, Port Elizabeth at 17:05 SA Time. This was the match thread for discussion of the game. The match was broadcast live on SuperSport 1, SHD & M-Net on TV in SA.

Although the Springboks did not score a try, Morné Steyn’s boot was the difference… and all the Springboks worked hard enough, to really deserve the win!

The passion was back in the faces, the focus narrowed, the set phases were good and the breakdown battle was won by the Springboks.
