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.

Morne attempted another drop, just left!
France / Ireland about to kick off.
Bokke intensity was good in the 1st half
120 minute later, en die Bok A span kan nog nie ‘n drie druk nie. Wedstryd basies dieselfde as laasweek. AB’s kom heeltemal te maklik oor voordeellyn. Ons sal moet druk om die druk op te hou. Moet asb nie vir Bakkies en Bismark afhaal nie.
Ruggaworld might be a temp solution, sorry GBS but i want to shout out loud
