There is the goal line, it is only six or seven meters away as Smith crosses it with crude and retalic again away for nonu now conrad smith held by j.j englebrecht and smith places it very well and the continuity continues as they work to take by surprise the small stab. by nanu but he lands very well and uh kashner gets nailed by the savior trying to lay him down and the all

blacks

trying to push the box off the ball now they clear it and the angry kick hasn't come out and the all blacks are going to continue with this Dag, he throws it wide, now it's a long opening sequence of cane in the match, cane chasing his own kick, karen reed, but he's just overcooked it and boy, what a start to the

game

, scorching start from the All Blacks, 10-point kick by Aaron Rawn, Retalic won. the return ball didn't miss it look it turned on a dime for crude and came back the other way retalic was up to the task this is the end after a great continuity pressure sequence sap comes in the hits are big and all The blacks have started to burn two kick two in that initial facet of the

game

or justin phase game, I think because the springbok backs are running on the outside, I think the kick is a tactic to try to beat that there is a injury at the moment and uh one of the springbok players, I think john de villiers was down and I think just a little meeting in the office as well before they line up, everyone ready to go and wait for a prayer to get out of here of the situation, just Bismarck to carry out the first tests. for the springbok lineout and ezzerbeth gets up very well, so he secures the ball, the all blacks make it difficult for him, although now priya does the kicks, dag wait, havana is on him, he escaped very well, good start of israel dag in the game, he has had three or already four touches while aaron smith turns it to aaron rawn now here he is messim almost beats de villiers' tackle while the all blacks continue to investigate the foul mourinho throws him to attack behind mccaw now the kicking and chasing problem for the all blacks The banners had a lot of pace, but Ben Smith did very well to order when a banner passed, the All Blacks returned close to their own 22 for the first time in the game and Aaron Smith goes to kick to him.

full game all blacks v south africa 2013 johannesburg...

Alberts is now taken? by kirschner conrad smith doesn't let go and de priya clarifies it here is willie larue and a little space here for engelbrecht he took it to the white block of villas chasing hard knocked down by dag all blacks tackle there competing and they go too to receive and nanu throws it away from the field and that is a very good kick and kirschner just came out of his 22 and will kick, he has all 14 of his teammates in front of him right now and dag is able to take it comfortably and hit it downfield down and that's also a very good clearance from israel oh what a start to this test match, not even four minutes from end to end, the line breaks drama and lots of physicality, this is a sensational start from both teams great defense by ben smith to save the day for the all blacks have banner if he had another finger on that there probably wouldn't be anyone who could have stopped another line shot for bismarck duplicit and again it's a little safe on the front but the all blacks don't get it they make it easy, so priya gives it to yanni duplicity now priya is soviet, she's going to give a lot of lift in this kirschner kick oh, it has bounced complete misunderstanding, lucky bounce and dupre had gotten and like that, standing over him now is francois lowe throws it to the villain alberts taken from the falmouena tackle and the spring box here is kirschner hard hit by reed perfectly fair although as dafria now bismarck duplicity again falmouena to make a good priya tackle Looking for the corner and it's going to go too far and it's an easy play for Julian Savior and a restart from the 22nd minute.

Well, that's all we thought, it would be five minutes on Aaron Cruden, that just makes sure the players are behind. and this will fall around the midline claimed by vermeulen, a great powerful ball runner, now priya sends it wide to stain kirschner on top of kirschner and damage the two

full

backs, they have been very active at the beginning of the game and now villiers dragged down by nanu that's priya's 10 meter all black line again taken by priya's lowe to smear here's kirschner and again engelbrick takes off here's larue in a little space kick and chase the bounce is well contained by aaron smith which is a five meter scrum although that was excellent work on the flank they got it on the outside of the soviet he had to turn in and then he fell back engelbrecht pushed larue away and then larue leaned back and time field just kicked perfectly and it bounced before the triple line so obviously aaron smith had no choice but to go back to the timeline look at the work there the flare brick which is excellent he took out two stern defenders , it disappeared a little, there's the rebound, here Smith does remarkably well to get back there and cover the situation because otherwise I think tj luru would have scored, yes, the All Blacks were short of numbers and that's why they didn't manage get up before the Springboks got over the gain line.
full game all blacks v south africa 2013   johannesburg
There was room for Larue on the right wing as a player who can. it certainly creates something and now it's a really important test, the first scrum of the game, would you believe so? Seven minutes into the game have already passed. He wants it fast. Nigel Owens, the front rows have arrived. He has to ruin it. He has to ruin it once they go up. it just has to go both ways up remember the first thicket at Eden Park the springboks were quite dominant certainly they were the ones that got the forward momentum here you can see there they were always advancing the spring box the first rows appear I think Duke appeared first So they probably went for a restart, but the All Blacks are going to have to be a little better than that because that was worrying, it looked like they wanted to push on the spring box.
Kirsten is reaching the baseline. outside on the left side, get down, okay, steal from me, step up, please look at Brian Habaner, he's right on the other side of that sideline. Israel Dag has the responsibility to defend himself against him, although obviously everyone leaves the crude from there, although everyone. the blacks push towards the sideline, okay, let's go in, everything, the black front row has fallen now playing with advantage so here comes the spring box and de villiers almost makes it through, he is playing with advantage here it is, uh, de Priya gives it to Vermeulen held by Nanu and they can't get him down to the ground but he is there now he kicks him and he was looking for Havana but they will take the penalty and you can put your hat back on well, I'll tell you what I would say I would also be throwing my head off who was a foreign striker thinking that they had the All Blacks on the ropes, they had an advantage.
It was a kind of miracle there, I think it was better to just pass the ball to De Villiers, who seemed to want it in his hands, what do they choose to do here, the spring box? We all know the situation they face. Yes, almost 10 minutes into this game. No, they just don't have a ball. Justin Fleury Duprie kicked one into the crowd. and he hasn't come back, I'm pretty sure they're going to have a shot on goal here, there just wasn't any ball around they could do anything with at the moment, look at the work here by mccor saves the day the ball passes through here . it's a nice little cutting move, villas get through the first line and that's where McCord just grabs him from behind, great job from the captain, he tries to save, so they'll take the first penalties.
There is a suggestion, maybe in the second half if they do it. After a bonus point, try these types of kicks can result in a kick to the corner and a line out, perhaps so Mourinho smears over 600 test points and adds another three as the Springboks take the lead in Alice Park by three points to zero. Ten minutes passed and all the blacks opted for the same split kickoff. There is retalic out there and it's over. It can be seen that Bismarck's villains are the duplicity that retaliates. They use the villas as jumpers. Bismarck is behind him, so the villains are good in the air. and they use it to catch kick-offs, that's something the All Blacks are perhaps targeting Metallicon de Villiers.
So raw that this time he comes to this close side. Joandre Kruger was on top and Falmouena couldn't get him to continue as the referee plays a win-win. Blacks won't last long, one wouldn't imagine, and his lead is already gone when Retalic takes him to center field and kicks him out. Now here's Sam Whitelock and the All Blacks are right in center field here and have a chance either way. going to rawn it works so far here is reed showing some good rhythm karen reed gives a beautiful pass to ben smith and here it goes again ben smith, he can do no wrong in

2013

. wow, ben smith, if you ever wanted to look for someone in this all black team at the moment it has to be this guy in the frame, we don't underestimate the work of kieran reed, a beautiful little outside break and before that, andrew hoare under pressure changing the ball, this is the kickoff of Again, all blacks chose to go right this time, not left, they won.
Falmoueno has managed to ensure this in an excellent way. Then from there they launched the attack, they looked at the electoral work of the war and then from there Reed went out the back door and Smith had a lot of work to do from here, but the rhythm that defends the power, it has everything, this guy is done but the real culprit here is the villain Alberts, just watch this which is a really lame attempt to tackle Kieran Reed and Ben Smith's brilliance did the rest. he fought back and ben smith scores his tenth try of the season and converts crudely and the all blacks immediately responded oh well what more can we say about ben smith?
He's had so much to do here, it's excellent work from the two forwards and Red, but when he gets the cane ball there on the back of his palm he still has players to beat, including a bannerman who isn't far behind and defends mourinho stein magnificent eight tries now for ben smith becomes the leading thai scorer in super rugby over cullen and Havana himself, so the stain begins lined up by Aaron Smith, here is Liam as the All Blacks with their normal strategy of Don't kick immediately. Now the kick will arrive and harden given enough time and of course at altitude the ball goes quite far down the field.
Yes, that's right Justin, eight tries in the old test nations and now in the rugby championship, you are absolutely right. Seven Christian Cullen and Brian Habaner, the previous record holders along with Smith until today, is surprising when you consider how many tests of rugby exactly those guys have had. kruger takes it and now the spring box deflects and goes towards engelbrec, he is the big strong ball carrier in the midfield while priya approaches the beast and there goes the shout for the big man now kirschner received a good tackle by rawn yani duplici, the ball returns quickly to dupreya, a little space here while de villiers shoots again for larue, engelbrecht is there, but sevilla and nanu combine to pass it, they give the ball a little air Yes, they certainly are, they created the overlap, but it was an excellent defense.
Manu, he was the man there, watch him cover one player, cover two players, severely pushed to the outside, so he covered inside, got trapped about 20 yards out and is there to make the tackle at the end, just move it to along the field, a messy line for everyone. stern blacks have to order arnie's duplicity takes him down now aaron smith and israel dag and good kick to dag under quite a bit of pressure you mentioned the fact that theball flies through the thin altitude here the all blacks had to do something Work with Justin during the week just to readjust to the way they take the high ball it takes a little longer to get there yeah Mcdermott was telling me before from the game that they had to get used to that at the beginning of the game, they're just jumping around a little bit. early, but they did well as the week went on, but yeah, the ball, no, he said it doesn't actually go any further, it just stays in the air longer, so they had timing issues before, okay, stay 15 minutes first. half is a bet and not five, you caught the ball here look before the fight, not five, so I have a feeling that we have seen that before in this game it is about jumping very, very close to the touchline, the picture is on the market, yeah well I gotta stand somewhere, okay, too far away, you're where you are in front of the five, so the All Blacks just tap, they don't bother with the scrum, it's possession guaranteed released, now he takes it, now Aaron Smith steps away for Rawn and that gap. closed, threw a pass forward through a great defense, yes that was Evan, it's a bit make up for the error in the lineup very quickly, it was also a very good job from De Villiers on the outside, he ran off the line in front of all his other players, but he got in the way, so there it is.
He goes there, forcing the raw and then cutting again and cut a big meat sandwich. It's not nice for the top five to run into a couple of big South African brutes but yes I understand Steve Hansen's frustration because there was space on the outside that's why de villiers had to rush but he defended very well he forced the error boxing spring don't split your back line here find sat yes name la priya get it now out going to stein de villiers taken by aaron smith bismarck duplicity, all black people are well aware of the power of that man.
The stain eliminates it for Kirchner, retreating directly into the arms of Tony Woodcock and the all blacks could deliver it here. No, he's still on the side of the gazelles for Priya's spot wolves. away here for the havana test of mulen clean break test number 52 for brian havana the springbok rope counterattacks well what has impressed me so far the movement in this game is the real change to the angles of the slick of mourinho now he changed it from the other side back to this narrow side here he comes get the firm pass tumbar decides to put the hammer down breaks the tackle and then sends a beautiful pass to mr jet shoes havano you can't keep a guy like this out of the game for long, return one for the spring box the first two you see here nanu just crossed over and left it to charlie farmer we know he took the big number eight and he never got close to it and then the blinding speed of havana doing the rest and that made the crowd roar again.
Well, he is an extraordinary player. Brian Habaner. The conversion here of the stain ended. The great career came from Dwayne Vermeulen. Brian Habaner, who was a spectator here in 1995 at the rugby world cup. He was not a. He was a rugby player in those days but that was the inspiration he needed and here he is today, 18 years later and he scored 52 Test tries. Incredible. Three more attempts for the Spring Box needed. I have to win two, although yes, the Springboks have not been too good. in this area and again the ball was hit, this time it was knocked down by the All Blacks, although the front has not gone, so the villain Alberts is going to play as a distance half for Stein directly to Dag, now he took it in from 22nd and going. be a kick and chase the dag leading the saving charge there is also a big crash and i think it was larue who came up with the beast in springbok territory while depria cleans it up now here is alberts oh beautiful pass to havana could i get a second you can bet he could, what a try, wow what a try, the fans are excited, why shouldn't they?
It was a fantastic counterattack from the spring box after Israel's kick, but there wasn't just some skill level to it. I finish from Havana, well we'll get to that in a moment, first of all we're looking for something at the top unless you come back and tell me it's clean and it's obvious, there shouldn't be any doubt about this, surely it was . Is talking. about the forward pass, just wondering why not the forward pass, wondering if there was a forward pass, is this one, bus, oh we'll see that again, but it was good, you can see the movement coming out of the back of the hand. the movement is backwards, not forwards, it's a brilliant pass from Francois Lowe, the All Blacks are burning on the outside, that's something stronger.
Twice they scored tries and once they threatened down the right they are also giving themselves and the Springboks space. they're cashing in now that's it, they've scored two tries 20 minutes have gone by, two tries to one and the story of Ellis Park, the whole Black Spring Box continues, high scoring games. The kick spots are moving away, so it's an unconverted attempt by Brian Habaner. got two on one for ben smith and take another look at this great play from the loose forward oh what a ball but what about briana banner's shot over the top and then he hits the players converging on him he takes the ball and Do you pull it down? scores a try kick off oh he's overcooked and Reed claimed him immediately so the All Blacks have a chance to hit back straight away.
Aaron Smith works it massively. Now here's McCaw looking to get to the ground and the ball will be there for Aaron. smith rawn gives it to nanu nanu tried to leave the little pass good job by conrad smith now whitelock again it's mccor chased and taken by yanni dupless now aaron smith again rawn tries with the little one behind but it's not good oh wait wait How's the hammy? He is taking it quickly, he did not leave and the kick was made and Havana stayed down. Oh, the kicks are beautiful and strange with the kick, but yeah, Havana stayed down.
He's offside, so they probably won't stop this game for him, but it seemed that way. like a hamstring has gotten big, it's a telltale sign when the player immediately grabs it, like this, the grimace on his face and looks at him as he goes back behind his butt and that's the top of the hamstring , that doesn't help, what a shame. He knows you can tell just by the look on his face. Well, young Serpentine is the man on the bench; perhaps it will require a bit of reorganization, so Habana, who has illuminated this game, leaves the field and enters the young Serpentina. 23 a young man on the rise and it seems that even though he plays as a center he is simply going to position himself on the left wing, they lose speed due to the messy line, but Aaron Smith does well to tidy up for the All Blacks, so Liam.
Massam receives the pass and Prudence's kick drifts out. Quickly snaking pitches to Zane Kirschner. Larue leads the charge after this and I think he lost control forward competing with Israel, but he doesn't always play on the wing either, but guys. he's got some pace, he's got some skill, the more this guy can get involved in the game the better for the spring area if he wanders around the field like he was doing there, he certainly has a skill level, he just loses control forward , he probably won the contest, but he just couldn't secure the ball, yes he was on the left wing, there contesting that he moved from the right, so if he is wandering, the All Blacks have to win because he is a dangerous player, he did a big angled run from the to the other side of the field he was really the only one chasing them you have to keep an eye on him will appear on the inside will appear will appear on the outside no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no it's amazing and of course now the crowd is in

full

voice because really now I feel like the team is not only on top but finishing with a chance, it's something that not many people thought they were going to be able to win the game, but also bonus points, at least that's what they're thinking right now.
Yes, shame, I know you slept, but it's not necessary. You're supposed to put your legs under your body too far back. Well done, Tony Woodcock on the loose head side for the all blacks who profess to slip duplicity from him, but hey, solid, all black. It's good to see it. The caution kick is very good, I know it's hard when you slip, but you have to get your legs under you. Okay so all the decks are taking their time on set play at the point where you almost feel like for once they are in the position where they want to slow things down a little bit poor shots read very fast aaron smith se goes to rawn now aaron's fifth two conrad smith raw and gets it back dag releases sabiyah and the big winger still in play is now intact no it's not like all the blacks have kept it's very close to the touchline and they're 15 meters away, here is Whitelock Boyce, away from a tackle, Sam Whitelock still going, now he is being pushed to the right, a good run that was now raw, no, no, no, he is not looking to break through. the day after tomorrow it holds up pretty easily here's aaron smith gets up it blows again all the blacks are going to try to pass this nessum got the ball right i think he thinks he dropped it here he blew the whistle twice yeah he just wanted it to get lost the goal but then I think Brian, yeah, I mean, I have two things here. uh if the ball I'm happy the ball is on the ground let's take a look it wasn't lost please okay I'm checking the ground yeah sorry one thing well I think it was.
Well, I think what Nemesis did was plant it and then it slipped out of his hands with the pressure after bringing the ball down. I don't think there will be any problem with this. He hits him. How is the assistance? retalic, a lot of horsepower got him across the line and down, well that's the first problem, now what's the other problem that nigel owen no, there was only one, nigel, yes, you may as well determine that, okay, so leah messin has her fourth try and what a great one, it was for the All Blacks too, oh it certainly was and there was some excellent work in the build up.
Think about Sam Whitelock's career, great at dragging players with him and then Aaron Smith came up close, very close, Aaron Smith's dart preparation. the opportunity for messily retalic's all blacks to control can raw and convert, yes he can, so two converted attempts first from ben smith and then from liam massa, let's take another look and the power of brody ritalic, who also surpassed him Attendance is certainly important for the All Blacks Springbok. They had a little bit of momentum. Good counterattack. Good period of play. They kept the ball in. And the other side remembers a little bit when it looked like they were going to get kicked with money spots. out claimed by try scorer long run by attacker to make contact finally reaches space oh, what's going on here?
The beast has taken down Richie McCor now I want to take a look. Look at me like the beast just got Richie McCoy out of the way. I think he hit him on the chin. It's been a pain standing there. He cleaned it. It's not cool. Does he live with that arm? That's the key. Will you just go with the number one side penalty? Okay, yes, I agree. you, that's okay, yes, you, you came from the side and apparently it's out of play, be very careful how you enter the contract, yes, that's okay, I want you to call me sir, that's okay, you can't believe your luck , he can't believe his luck, he dropped the Choco with his shoulder against Richie McCourt's door and got away with it, well I think he'd be hanged and caught if I sent anyone here today, no wonder he would caught, sir, it's quite comical, isn't it sorry?
I'll also take back what I said McCall wasn't being a bother, he was just there, he's not just a target, he attracts attention, isn't he? What proof. There are 12 minutes left in the first half, two attempts every fifteen. fourteen four shots to foul not correctly without penalty intends to cross the ball or delay the left now blocking number five is on his side and the ball came out of the alignment number five prevented him from passing already please thank you not sure This is so, to a certain extent, the All Blacks are allowed to hold their ground and prevent the spring box from spilling across the line and getting close to the runner, which is what Sam Whitelock was effectively doing, it's just if he's pulling the shirt a little bit and stuff instead of just cleverly getting in the way certainly elvis isn't going to pass to the baseline so duplicity bowls fast uh wider transfer goes to the villas center ball comes loose mccoy It has to go well here he is going to work blindly on the side of the raw villi try to hold on de villiers got up and left again now de priya comes closer and goes towards alberts the big manand powerful assisted by all the blacks they are reaching in they drop the arm now and here is the duplicity of Bismarck floats away Kirschner all black is holding him back remember there is an advantage here he still has his arm extended while De Priya throws him stain here's the mulen and it breaks so they go back to number two the second time he goes against Andrew now what's the decision here so far If there will be rest assured it looks like he's going to throw this out.
Okay, okay, they're in a good position to be able to do this. Andrew's report was okay in the first instance, but probably had a dig too. many and they were caught by the referee, now they have those two tries, so I know thanks for the mentality, they can get the four and then continue in the match, so brought down by Alberts, all the blacks put a little pressure now. Bismarck's duplicity has him in the back of the mall too slow. All the blacks have done well here. The Springboks are under real pressure to even clear this up.
Defria quickly took advantage. Remember I told you before the game. On the mark, you are not on the. mark, okay, someone can be going for 10 minutes and be able to make some progress, in fact they could even turn this around, they will make a tremendous defense through the orbits, sensational line off the fence from that big group all-black striker that everyone committed to. pats on the back, he was the man who finally got it together legally, but it was also a good job of retalic whose body position for a big man was low, they took that line in the face of the spring box attack and won that battle.
They can get out of this. It's a real bullet dodge, isn't it? They are standing right next to Nigel Owens and can't hear the whistle. You can see here how close the crowd is. It gives you a real feeling. at home, wherever you are watching this game, in the crowd, certainly right there, and I can assure you as a player here everything they are shouting at you, let's go, then please, well, it was a messy old thicket, we should look for a neater effort here closer link set yeah you can see there they just came in on the loose head side the beast and charlie couldn't go anywhere to be fair charlie fell down now i think i i got my way there i agree with you well i remember the setup before they used the villas they have two players right behind the villas and engelbret kirschner and larue are also there last time they got dirty he left the villiers back in the traffic, yes black people have to be aware of the deception, maybe in the back this time the villages dummy is a good scrum of gazelles like dapria. he escapes it, all the runners coming from all sides are knocked down by Inglebrick, they shoot at Dag and his Dag is thinking about launching from here, but in the end he goes away down the field and comes back after it is Kirschner, but the danger is over for Anyway, the moment is Kirshner's kick.
Savi came in and committed brilliantly and got up too and the All Blacks have possession. Aaron Smith is far away for Conrad Smith. Now here goes Tony Woodcock. He lifted it very well. Conrad Smith takes it out for Rawn. Now Nanu looks. for some space but she didn't find it and here's the morning blur and she'll look for the safety of the sideline they might have. I think she probably she could have let it go. Mourinho stayed there. There was no one really chasing Nonu's kick with any real vigor. If he had let it pass he could have rolled dead this is the move there is de villiers in the dummy instead of going out the back towards the roof they were short to inglebrick and the pass on the gain line was not good enough because everyone Black's line speed was excellent, it was not possible for Angle Brick.
Great period of play for the All Blacks to come out of that long persistent attack from the Spring Box. What a terrain, four minutes left in the first half here in the Spring Box at Ellis Park. for one, two tries each as the white lock goes up more beautifully done there might have been a little advice on that as it is the best and Ben Smith appears after this, oh how magnificent he takes the woodcock load on him, The brushes come out of the couple and are handed over to Retalic. However the ball flipped and a double whammy as the mulen can't hold up just having a meet and greet there, what a great run by Tony Woodcock TJ making his way forward, yeah that wasn't a very good read of uh surf and a the left. wing that put them under pressure just interesting sight and duplicity, they are actually great friends those two, but not at this moment to not allow you to discipline to ruin it now, it's okay because if there is any problem, you will be dealt with first, a bit of a sideshow .
Deep down there's Greg time, come closer, stay with me, please, we have to speed this up. Andrew uses all of his experience there. 81st Test match tonight. Andrew, he may be reaching the end, but I think he's making a great effort here. it's been fantastic and that's a messy old scrum that worked out in the end and the blacks are also happy to put it up high too and then get up and compete. Ben Smith arrives early and gave Aaron Smith another little kick, although no one chases him. but it's still a good kick, it's a beauty, excellent kick from Aaron Smith, he read it well and saw the space early but didn't telegraph it so no one could back up to the spring box, there's a half back kick. at the end of the ball so that when it bounces off the ground it rolls from one end to the other, that's the old messy scrum.
Aaron Smith has the All Blacks and a great attack, that's the kick, he just hits the tip of the ball. The Springboks go. At first they almost ruined it, they went deep and the ball was about to tip over. Hopefully, now I think it's Kieran Reed who could be down and the Springbok player too. I wonder how important that defense period was there with the All Blacks. Well, we knew they were going to do that, Justin, but we didn't think it would be in the first half, at least not, this is true, it's certainly Karen Reed, I think it's one of the loose sports, so this doesn't look good. . pretty big collision at the end of the line now baby faith again alberts are guys and he's leaving the field so this is a second khaleesi injury loss in 20.
Come on it's a shame for the spring box obviously, like you. I'll remember losing to Banner and now they lose the Melbourne of him if he looks good he certainly wears it on a sleeve oh yeah yeah how was that footage of him singing the national anthem? Great, he's putting something into it, right? Yes, hey, hey. Hey guys, how about we make space for you? They can find higher than everything. Alberts, he's the big power ball runner. They use seven, of course, but the Springbok openside flanker always uses six, so it's effectively there. neck injury but we've seen him sit up so obviously he's fine but there must be some concern about some pretty serious damage there so it's very sad to see that but I hope he's okay and they're just doing all the protocols correctly .
They sure move the flow of the neck injury. They really have a great medical center here at Ellis Park. Justin you could almost perform an operation there. It's like a theater in a hospital. 63 888. A wonderful attempt by Ben Smith just as we. wait alberts we're just reviewing the tries in the game and ben smith now here's the first for havana and what a race by tumbar vermeulen was the man who broke the line a banner was raised outside the vermilion minute for tumbar i should say he broke the line, then Havana with their speed, power and pace was always going to score and it didn't take long for them to cross the line again.
Great skill here again, the ball here is absolutely excellent and the Habano's finish was just. pure class now the all blacks aaron smith got very close they didn't hold him back he was almost there then take a look at the work of liam messer and brody ritalic the two men from the chiefs and they take him so that havana can only look at having a chat with adrian strauss and the villain alberts leads the field and we are only a minute away from half time highlight a minute left in the first half and a hairy depression with the Spring Bucks under some pressure here the All Blacks but very well broken up by mulen mccoor but they have taken it off very well and staying should be able to clear under a little pressure from nani but safely in contact and there will be time for the line, there will be time and the all blacks have been This year he is very good hitting at the end of the First half.
They will look to work for a penalty, maybe to get three points or possibly a try, but they will try to get this set piece right and launch an attack to try to get something. points just before half time were affected by doing it, they also did it against argentina, so the shots are not the best and maybe the opportunity was missed, kruger has the ball for the spring box now from priya stein de villiers jj engelbrecht reed quickly passes over tristan steals it karen reed so one last try here in the first half for the all blacks trampling it's massive near that far touchline now it's wise to move away in italics the big man takes it to the field mccor clarifies it dag here's nanu working his way through manonu ten from the 22 while aaron smith works for retalic alto great job as always aaron smith again holds it for conrad smith quick hands savior here's four david again inside nessum liam Massam and the All Blacks have the lead at halftime.
Oh, they've done it again. The All Blacks just at half-time you heard the siren whistling in the background. It didn't bother them. They weren't interested in kicking the ball. They were interested in scoring tries the sensational team Karen Reed started with the turnover at her feet keeps her shape nice and powerful moves it back from there raw and changes the angle of play Smith does very well at holding down defenders conrad smith quick hands raw and quick hands from severe andrew hall does it magnificently well in great finish from messim and what a time to attack and what a great team tries two tries in the first half for leah massim don't forget it if the all blacks get a bonus try point, the spring box is shit, they're sunk so that's the third for the All Blacks, one more will clinch the game, well it won't clinch the championship game.
Useful kick for Liam Massim. He kicked for Aaron Crewn, at least outside of Liam Messin's try. and converts, so the All Blacks scored three converted tries in the first half. What a first half, there have been five tries in total, that is 21-15 at half time at Ellis Park in Johannesburg and the All Blacks have snatched the lead they lead by 21. aim for 15 after an incredible first 40 minutes of rugby, as we take a look at the stats and mention the dominant territory and possession of the springboks, but what really stands out for me is the fact that they have missed more tackles on the All Blacks, is the excellent defense of the All Blacks again and is certainly a big factor in this game.
The Springboks needed to sort that area out. Too many missed tackles. Well, the All Blacks have come here to win the game and the rugby championship is going to be. a bonus and they're, somehow they're there, they're leading at half-time three tries to two, 21 to 15. Well, it's been three years since the All Blacks last conceded four tries in a game when referee Nigel Owens wasted time in the second. The half white group goes early and is not controlled by the all blacks at all, so now they need a half back dupria gets there, has a couple of starts and hits it well, where was he in the first place?
He's playing with an advantage here, so all blacks. has a lead and White Glock gives him a little kick, here comes Sevilla and can't keep him on the field well, that could have been pretty strange, you could certainly have a great look at Sam White like, oh, he's got all the skills . the florida prairie arrived a little late to the excellent work of the two woodcock teammates and interrupted the ball from there, he came back clumsily and the all blacks put their hands on him and sam whitelock gave him a nice little severe kick almost reached the end duplicity shots knocked down by itzebeth has now been bowled for low lost now to khaleesi the tumbar all black starting this game with a five point lead in the championship so if they had another try that would mean a bonus point and that would be it as far as the championship is concerned now inglebreck backed off by mccor so the springboks are prepared to throw caution to the window here as de villiers brought down by falmouth cleans it up for khaleesi good run here finally brought down after running 25 meters now breaks and the beast catches him, falls on the 10 meter tackle line and animatedly begins the second as we head to the first here is Devilius gives thekick and Dag crosses and claims the mark Kirshner is trying to take it from him but he took the mark anyway, the crowd is not happy, not sure why we have a replacement here, the change comes here very early, change in the second half with Andrew Hall coming off the field and Dane Cole coming on. and 16.
Well, we don't know if that was planned, he doesn't seem to be injured, I think he had an excellent game. Andrew Hawk, you've been excellent. The coast adds some mobility, although the kick from the mark goes down from the day. not out and stain, he hits it on the field here by larue and the winger knocked down by coles now stain here by serpentine all the blacks driving over but now they are going to be penalized number nine did not come ball number nine did not have the ball when you played it he wasn't on the rock he was behind and fighting without the ball technically he's right they were good at everything near the all the blacks stayed standing they came in from the right angle through the gate however they just got their hands on the ferry to prayer and they're not allowed to touch the back half he's not part of the ruck he's there to clear the ball off the rock and they took him out good kick from morne stein brought down by kruger the all blacks have defended this very well as they have done throughout the game now bismarck duplicity has the ball now this looks even better there for bismarck duplicity brave and prudent tackle now by priya pruden and smith they tie it up well and truly devillius hands it to itzebeth mounted on the retalic tackle puts it back on rohira knocked down also this time by sam whiteclock all black's defensive screen is good duplicity kirschner takes it off all the blacks pile up on top now from priya hits this all black defense from priya goes another bismarck time duplicity for the third time in the movement now the ball is clear it's a beth runs towards massim rock priya's call again now they're going to go outside devilius engelbrecht again it's raw out there 50-50 loses the ball down mccor and woodcock two veteran players make the tag tackle kirshner kirstner running conrad smith front in severe under all the blacks resisting this attack at the moment of priya again bismarck puts his hand on nanu's face but they held him back and pushed him back and They give the penalty and you wonder here where there could be a yellow card, I think it's from one side and there is no time to remain defeated.
He was, yes, he went in from the side but I think it's I think he has bad luck. I read it strange because he is taking it quickly. I saw the ball quickly from the spring area the sentence is approaching well, they showed great resistance to the all blacks kept their line healthier massive they got Sinbin out just hadn't even left the field.they were able to take this, we miss him and It's still escaping. I'm not sure, I'm not sure if they can take it that quickly or not when a player has been eliminated. However, the game must continue and did he ask for time? again because he asked for time off for the yellow card that's the question if he asked for time off again any concern for Aaron Cruden too who made a couple of big tackles in that passage and looks a little worse for Weir so here it is the opportunity for Mornay Stain to give the lead back to the Spring Box and he doesn't miss many, he has made a great fist in his first season in the Spring Box and got his third attempt.
It's all enthusiasm and the Box is back. front 22-21 and I think the spring box has made a few more changes too, we'll catch up here in a minute, the All Blacks kick Tucker running towards his own player but there was no tackler there so there's no problem, the savior retreats. here, now, they'll run him to the line and then they'll kick and ben smith will be the first black on the scene and oh, it's very well done, all the blacks have a man in the back playing falmouth now here they come on the blind side here it is, right by the big man knocked down by dag ball shows up and it's there now the all blacks can come back and conrad smith kicks it into the open spaces it's barris on the field bowdoin barrett boy this game is all over the place numbers for the spring box I'm sure they have it now that Inglebrick came out he makes a great run he has Larue chased by Sevilla and he lost the ball forward well, he certainly did it they both made what a counterattack in the spring box but excellent defense by Julián Sevilla I think we have a flag here well there is a genuine concern for a player larue im going to throw the punch i want to see that tackle that wasn't dangerous or high please then the tackle that caused the knockout yes ok take a look oh this could be a penalty attempt if deemed illegal uh Rawn rules have gone Barrett in the feedback yeah nothing wrong with that let's take a look nothing nothing wrong at all he plummeted not the fault of the all blacks karen reds finished him with her arm but he there is no place for kieran reed to go this forearm just lands on larue's face there is nothing wrong with that tackle the guy fell the guy's command no contact mate I'm going to go with a knockout oh that's a nasty face yeah that would really hurt contact me in the meantime I'm your referee this week not last week Charlie Fall Marina is out thanks Ben Franks is in 18th for the All Blacks, how was that period? of the game the break down the touchline by izabeth then the counterattack by conrad smith and then the spring area opened to the all blacks and an excellent defense for the all blacks seemed ready to score inglebrick what about the work of he?
Well, now it's Martin Nonono. having to pack in on the scrum side because don't forget the All Blacks are down a man on their own feed chance for the spring box to cause real chaos here two new players in the front row baron bowdoin on the dead ball line with Hoping to have a little time to clear it up and get it on Aaron Smith. It's a battle to sustain it. Oh, I'm messy with Aaron Smith. I think Florida really took the ball out of his hands. Well, they're standing. at alice park they're a little down at halftime, i take it back, he put his hands on aaron smith, which stopped the punt, actually, great job by the veteran, isn't it? disappeared early at a crucial moment, rage for prayer, but you think that if they can try it, then their kicking game becomes absolutely crucial, so what mentality do they have?
They go for the green that is easy to get. Two in green. Looks like they're trying to get Adrian Strauss in Bismarck. Duplicity does not want. to find out he will have to go well he has to go because he already came and yanni duplicity and bismarck duplicity are going together for the days of pornius and adrian strauss of the two types of cheetahs and I can tell you that bismarck duplicity is not a happy moment in the game the spring box with three attempts now all the blacks under the pump knock down a man and it's eight against seven two nano has to defend yes oh I can't stand there corbis vases who is one of the assistant referees I just told him that You had to move and he said no, I'm not going to find all the blacks.
Get under and hold now the new Man Strauss ball bounces loose. All black people try it too. he's going to come out but he's in springbok territory with kirschner now he's not going to kick this he clearly meets him on the 10 meter line now with priya larue reed and mccoy slides through a couple of tackles to priya again as the springboks continue the pressure up, Smith drops a little, all the blacks look to turn, they are going to receive a penalty, they did not break free against one of the best scrum teams in the world, they held their line with so much resistance, then they gave the ball to Retalic and then Kieran Reed. on the ball he turns it over for the second time in the springbok arc of motion and they'll go to a line but it's in springbok territory okay so it looks like the beast is done for the day tonight yeah wyatt crockett is coming for the all blacks. and 17. guthro skin comfort 17 for the spring box, so big changes fatigue will be a big problem in this game.
Well, it's a whole new front row for the all-blacks, as Aaron Smith throws it in here for Barrett and Bowden Barrett carries. drop it now now aaron smith on a dag attempt bouncing off englebreck tackle good run by israel dag aaron smith again now white block box from last spring having a chance but no joy there so barrett passes it to ben franks conrad from frank smith now here's barrett again reed slide a beautiful saving pass bounces off one that's still short conrad smith tries to get his hands on it gives it to aaron smith remembers they only got 14. here's ben franks they're offside from the spring box Here it is, no, no, no, he got it.
He has to go up to Nigel Owens and have a look. He certainly got it in the end. Well, what a counterattack, well, De Villiers is saying here. You blew the whistle before he put the ball in. ground excuse me please lad this is a big moment in the whole championship okay Graham yes it's a try yes or no just keep in mind when you know my whistle blew if it's not a try Will I get back to the lead? Try offside, yes or no, well it's been very clear tonight, nigel owens, no complaints, I just think it's been excellent, no, yes, no one's happy with it and there's been a lot going on in this game, ha there's been a lot to see, here's nano now like Khaleesi who gets under him and sticks out his arm so Nanu has to wriggle twice here, initially it's short Khaleesi is under with his arm there the ball is short, that's short, It's close, although well, that would have been the rugby championship right there and then the All Blacks think they scored a try.
They're coming back like you do with a little poker for the referee or the tmo John, okay, number five, well, you also have to see the angle from the back, surely here it's fine, that doesn't tell us much. He finally passes, he leaves it, but I think it was after the whistle went, look just here, yeah, finally, yeah, I don't think you can afford it, well, let me tell you what I'm seeing, okay, he's watching the pitch of the ball and then there are too many moves before this is penalized afterwards, so I will go back for the offside five green unless you have a clearer and more obvious picture than what I have seen.
I do not agree with you. Okay, don't try it with sharks too. a lot of movement without advantage number five wow what a great defense by sia khaleesi keeps the spring box in the championship they are going to lose the baron leader of the voters had the kicking tee anyway well what a brilliant counterattack by the all blacks the severe race How close did he come to blasting his way through Kirschner as if he wasn't even there? He just dropped the big shoulder and kicked the penalty bounce and Barrett and the All Blacks were back in front 15 minutes into the second half just to emphasize what I meant by keeping them in the championship if that try was awarded, It's all over, it was a four-try bonus, no matter what, man, so it's a great moment.
A great effort by Khaleesi from the Stormers spot that starts very high. Whitelock has time this time and breaks the first tackle. and the all blacks prepared it very well with aaron smith far downfield for mula and the weights are brought down early first by salvia and then by mccor now dupria by mancha kirshner is on the line again good reed tackle from priya Mancha running towards the line I don't often see him bouncing on the road, I don't often see that either, you know, from Prieta Kirchner, now Khaleesi, who has made a big impression, all the blacks pass with the ball, Larue changes the point of attack, he goes towards us, they act as priya.
Again, Stein, now Strauss' angular bricks work well today, but he ran close to the touchline. Here they try to keep it on Smith. Back to Dag loaded and in touch. Conrad Smith shows up in those places all the time. Doesn't he get in the way? defenders among the tacklers and also the attackers look at this. He wasn't sure what he was really seeing there. Morning strikes retaliation. Look at this, so trouble again for the All Blacks. Stan Camp Mccaw makes the tackle now Dupreya Stein de Villius on top of barrett demilia scores here is the bonus point that the springboks are looking for a big time and a big man for the springboks this year steps up john de villiers him It's at the heart of everything they've done sensationally well in this game but particularly at this moment the power through the gazebo manu tries to scrape it the ball bounces off the tackle the dag the captain stands up tj has been on fire the entire the season well, that's leadership for you, he's one of the great players in the world and he said I'm going to take responsibility for this and look at Heineken, well, you have to remember that it was all Black's pitch to that line, they tried to get the one that goes over the 15 for a player to go through, it's a bit, it was there in an instant.
How did he get there so fast? That was a serious mistake, wasn't it? You'd have to wonder if they really could have been better off just playingwith the percentages, but everything is already done to increase the advantage, but no, so it is an attempt without converting. but for the first time since 2010 the all blacks have conceded four tries, it was the hong kong wallabies who did it 210. so four tries for the springboks they have an extra point, now they have to wait for the all blacks not to do it another attempt and the blocks seem capable, there is the kick-off knocked down by Kruger Japria Stein Kirschner with the kick and all the kilometers too far took him back inside the 22, they will have to go back to the end, that's right.
Beg the question: does the Springbok mentality change now that they have the bonus point? Are they trying to close it? Do they stop the run game and try to play more in their traditional style? Now they will have to defend on their own territory. advancing to the three-quarter mark in this remarkable game cole throws it's there for smith throws it away for the savior bounces the blob out of the way does well how good that boy must feel that the villas pushed him a few moments ago but the steps towards above show that his class didn't lower his head in fact he raised his head and went through the spring box like a knife through butter he cut them off bowden barrett secures the championship for the all blacks what a moment in this game this is Kirschner's mistake of vital importance that the kick went over the touchline in the fall, so they returned to the starting line not long when the ball reaches Barrett a static ball from behind goes towards him one two defenders three defenders the pace the finish oh wow, what a game, what a try, what a moment and I fear for South Africa's prospects that the culprit on that occasion was John de Villiers, he flew off the line and that's what I gave to the opening for New Zealand.
Number three, top five, you're not bad when a guy can come in and do that in the game and convert his own try of his. He just watches the transfer of the ball from one hand to the other, there he is on the left. the right and then the left how good is that how good is that it's just class to watch the discussion as we take a look at the all black bench one of the assistant referees is here not sure what they're chatting about well so teams oh Now this is interesting because apparently the official team sheet said they gave me a call on the field before I wasn't replaced.
We heard that true is the guy on the field on the team sheets. There is a big problem here, we were told. about this pre-game he didn't win this video you should explain it well let's listen to see if these guys are going to talk a little more well or not. South African commentators asked me what was wrong with Coles, I said. No, I don't think so because they said, well, it alarmed me, his name is on the team sheet, so I checked, I checked with Darren Shan, they just informed me, man, that's it, honestly, I've done 120 tests, no I know. just a full protection is okay, okay, John, I'm just a full.
I'm going to go with the ocean heritage here, we'll take it as is, we'll take it as a typo 16. stay there, it's off the team sheet, okay, any problems can be tested later, let's move on, yeah, keep playing, we did it in general, yes, keep going, okay, he, the program says dane coles, that's true, yes, but the official team said Tony, which one. has to be presented by the manager and signed by the manager and signed and with kevin miller his name on it this could be expensive no no no no no no no no he's not on the field when he shouldn't be but that's different if I went down to 40 men and they bought someone into this program now that's different, well I'm as sure as I can be that we may hear more about this, who knows.
John de villiers takes it with great humor and we are away again, he has had everything this game is. is there anything we haven't had yet oh something else is sure to happen aaron smith this one will come down fresh from 22 savvy is there defiant but vermeulen wins he's been really immense tonight for the spring box he's in trouble here yeah me too i saw that oh dear anyway let's move on for the moment engelbreak that's ahead and they've been in touch it's a reckless forum that's what it is it hasn't done any harm but it's reckless ok no I've seen nothing, okay.
I have a contest here at the end of the contest with a black 18 swing arm, okay, on the head of South Africa, okay, do you need? Do we need to see it again? Are you willing to call me? I don't need a check we're happy to make the call to block 18 please I told you there would be more to be fair it's harmless enough but you can't do that unfortunately we did we're happy to make the calls you get with a swinging arm and against the bumper of the headless yellow car, go away, please, well, the all blacks make it difficult for him oh, maybe he's not so harmless, meek, well, he's not happy with Steve Henson and he'll be directed at Ben Frank, it was not a Great move, let's stay on top of this, so the All Blacks are going to play 20 minutes of this game with 14 men, they have the championship but they don't have the match yet and it's going to be difficult from from here.
Strauss launches spring. The tills haven't had much luck with the Rolling Mall so far tonight, this one is going well, Massim and Retalic robbed it. Well, the All Blacks have shut down the Rolling Mall extremely well, now back with Barrett and Bowdoin. Barrett relieves a lot of pressure. Well you're right Justin, we've pretty much seen it all, we've seen a lot, how many times have we seen the spring box put the ball into contact close to the line and the All Blacks obviously worked their starting line? defense that they have all winter, but that was outstanding again.
Messen was the man who came in and broke it. Francois Lowe. I think he was the guy who had the ball. He now he is attracting attention. Of course, Charlie Farmween is now warming up on the bench because with Frank. in the bin, may have to go back to Stephen Lewis with a 19, well there have been some spectacular moments in this game, just looking at some of Willie Leroux's excellent work, he is an energetic high paced player who gets involved from his wing. in the game he can break tackles he is good on his feet the game resumes reed lends a hand in the luau tour so the all blacks steal a line against the shot while aaron smith works for barrett a good bomb in midfield kirchner has the eye put on the ball and Kirschner hit it, so Reed opens it to Stephen Lewitour and it bounces downfield right on the black side of midway.
Now here is the savior again with rhythm. He has Reed. Karen Reed. She has the speed and will go under. bar excellent work on the blind side from first macao drew and passed that's what he got the space on the outside and then severe just angled subtly look at mccaw here it comes out to him here now just good hands to attract the last defender he released The space angles severely beautifully and then simply returns the pass to where he knew Reed would be following the brilliant touchline execution on the All Blacks' blind side. I think you also have to go back to the high kick.
Justin, that was a really good kick. from the defensive room of the All Blacks the chase the pressure on Kirchner he couldn't stand it and the attempted counterattack what a moment again the All Blacks with 14 men how much ticker this team has you can almost see, I mean I'm very close to the field here you can almost see the determination levels rising as adversity causes Barrett to convert and the All Blacks now have their best lead in the game by 11. Karen Reed takes another test try and it was beautifully set up, just watch He do it He bowed, which freed the race and Beth has a little rhythm.
We saw that little sign before the crowd. I don't imagine there will be too many signs of a comeback, i.e. 38 to 27. And boy, we still have 14 minutes left until kick-off sam whitelock still has plenty of time for the springboks to win this game aaron smith vermeulen wakes up again and advances severely but this time vermeulen doesn't do it right and hits it looking shaky under the high ball now it's the spring area for mulen who had a very strong game guilty on that occasion but the all blacks are chasing so well they are putting real pressure on kickers getting proper kicking depth charlie farm mourinho en I'm going to have to come back here and I think Steven Lewis, who hasn't been there for a long time, is going to have to leave the field.
Charlie found that he didn't seem very happy. He's gone. As far as injuries go, I mean, he looked like. like he took a little hit, well actually Ritalic is coming off so Lua walks right into the second row, yeah well it looks like they might be trying to put Charles peeling the towel on Tony, he's warming up, It's just coming in, I think it is. We'll have to attack the scrum crocodile of course on the loose head side and 17. We're looking for a quick heel here, yes, when the All Blacks are feeding the scrum into the attack they'll make sure they have it. that extra player, they don't need them in the backline, they need to win the scrum ball first, they don't have to worry about numbers in the backline or anything like that, they'll probably be ready to kick well. owens arbitration just waited now aaron smith again they are going on the highway here he comes uh severe from the blind side this time the rebound does not favor the all blacks and larue leaves with his rhythm now de villiers finds holes de villiers has hit him and great tackle i think it was louis now the counter attack here goes ben smith the kick chase is for conrad smith leading the charge vermeulen is the only player back there he needs a decent bounce but smith has it barrett is there too but the springboks I have the players behind the ball and went away for a streamer now engelbrecht shoots it back to from priya to kirshner good tackle made by coles all the blacks are trying to take it away don't understand it this time now here goes strauss to priya looking for someone I give it to him it's there for the all blacks he was weak and they are not offside there is no advantage the second man searches the tower it is a late decision until the end due to offside against the all blacks I tell you how they are These players even They are going to leave the field, they must be exhausted, both teams.
Well, there is also the question of altitude, right? They have been paralyzed. It's going to be a very interesting point. What happens if there is a technicality? Dane Coles, what can you do about this? They cannot reverse the result of the game. They could take points away from the All Blacks, but they can't change the outcome of the game or whether they get bonus points. It is not like this? It's even worth thinking if that could be a real disaster, a real disaster, hopefully it's not that julian sapia has left the field and aaron smith is about to leave the field too so that kurbalo comes in at 21. and pia tau too for julian the sap players come to the bench looking absolutely exhausted, looks like a dag on the wing, here's dane coles, a good burst from the hooker tied him up nicely now in barlow's first act and he claimed the all blacks beautifully ben smith again now reed going up barrett with a windshield wiper kick.
I haven't seen many kicks in this game. Kirschner doesn't have room. He's going to try, but he chose Conrad Smith. You don't pass. There is a fifth play. There should be a completely black line. Well, Kirschner made a decision, but. I think he picked the wrong place, yes, bad decision, I think the Springboks are marking the boys, they are starting to lose the aerial battle, they lost one of their own line-outs, but the aptitude of this all-black team and also the Springboks are now we have to chase the game 11 points behind to the last 10. It looks like we are looking at another replacement player here and Patrick Lambie on 22.
It looks like Kirschner came on the bench, he had a real mix of Zane Kirschner. a scapegoat for the locals here he has done some good things but he has also made some mistakes your feet under you time still with 14 men of course the all blacks pia tau this time playing on the scrum side 10 minutes left set it up curvallo to roll the middle yeah, yeah, two shots, just check out those bounces, keep your feet, let the ball go into its spot in the middle, yeah, a few feet away, let it go in first when it comes in, no first, oh boy, some talking points.
Coming out of this game, just fantastic rugby, nine minutes left, yes, now he gets into this reduced black scrum, they've done very well, Barrett leaves it to Nanu Nanu against the flow and finally he is brought down by Izzabeth Ball, his bang. Okay then let's go please, but if the All Blacks win this game it will be their 50th victory over Spring Box in 87 Test matches they have been contesting since 1921 before Ellis Park recorded it has been a struggle to the All Blacks. win it will only be your fourth win on this great rugby field get your feet under please also we have been excellent all game let's get a stationary square now okay keep control please so They're going to go with an onside kick here.
The box ofspring the valley is taken by curvallo away now black please trapped inside your own 22 though tina away for khaleesi who is tyson abandoned by kieran reed in va adrian strauss lost now very slow progress here in the spring box now vermeulen trying to hold read out crockett, although he pushes him away now tina away for devilis the kick and the chase followed by dag and he has time to return the favor with a huge punch gee tore up some ground there no angle yeah, from no angle you're right I don't have where to go and I still pumped the ball a good 50 meters down the field.
Look at Richie McCoy there on the ball. How come he didn't win that penalty? Come on, what else do you have to do? Clear and obvious. I think about the words they use. No, yes, Charlie Farmween is trudging back from the field. I think Sam Kane might be out there too. This is Tony. Somewhere, here is Coles. Dane Coles rests and Curbalo Barrett is there, happy to play the percentages. Now Bowdoin Barrett is very well judged and all the. What the springboks can do is kick it back and I think you're right, I think the spirit is gone for your reference kane and 20.
Contesting for possession there, another high scoring game as it was won by sam whitelock now nonono he moved conrad smith away thinking we need to straighten this attack, so he does, the warp keeps it the same way, though, oh, intercept, they won't catch it, they won't catch it, oh, I don't know, the baron is doing a good effort, oh, what a great effort, try. Once again, although I know he's been told to go upstairs and take a look at this Baron Bowdoin who chased him, he probably scored to make a second attempt, I'll tell you what I think, I think I also think he just blows a tire, Try it, yes or no, yes. he needs a physique now that we've had it all I think he made him look for me I know I was calling him as he ran he looked like he was going to pass Bowden Barrett but he made a great effort that Barrett almost made it he looks at his back foot his back foot hits him he's got it amazing that's amazing i've written it i'll delete it maybe i'll have to cross out nigel too at one point i think we've had him everything we've had a lot had to turn bowden carrier that's why i thought they wouldn't catch him because that was a genuine clean interception by Chris of Larue, so Barrett had to turn and then chase the momentum was already with Larue, which is blistering speed from Barrett, well, he is.
I'm not sure Nigel Owens doesn't notice I guess Nigel, how are we? Okay, the foot is in contact, it's a line towards black. Time's up, what another great moment in this game. I mentioned it before the ticker, but I still haven't abandoned it. All Blacks, if the Spring Box had scored, then converted the game, they just showed a lot in the last 10 minutes, a super individual try and then a try to save the innings. Pia Tower picks up the loose ball and the All Blacks spot Barrett Way. back to the dead ball line no need curvallo hits a beautiful kick which is a beauty it has been claimed by larue but they are back inside their own half here the spring box and here it is lambie tina away for stein engelbrecht good tackle from sam kane now the charge of this tina taser again engelbrecht has somehow gotten loose hit all the blacks they have turned him over kevalo to take the scrum i think so, since the clock is ticking three minutes left in a game that has produced nine tries so far and apart from the world cup final which was a bit of a dishonest result because it was only 15 to 12.
Anyway it was a pass forward, all subsequent games have had really high scores here at Ellis Park if only black players could look into the stands. Now they would get great satisfaction from seeing a large number of people leaving the stadium. No, it doesn't show it in that shot, obviously, but on the trap side, we came out of here en masse in their numbers, they came. I have experienced that many of them have not been here before and sent them home early. Job done, so they led by eight at one point, but the All Blacks led at half-time, Spring Box regained the lead and the penalty goes into the box.
Very few penalties in the game. he spins it through Devilis, he'll keep trying as he sends peanuts, he'll wipe it off with a hoof on the way down, Ben Smith comes in very cleverly, although he's the only all-black one there, but the spring box, well, they're really going to get him try and keep it up, peanut, take it off and here's Strauss Dinar again, now there's a chance, maybe Francois Lowe slipped it to Lambie, can they finish to win the try? No, Kane has taken it, maybe the All Blacks will finish with a flourish, here it is. dag with the speed of him they are lining up inside oh my core can't hold the wrong man had to go to mccor is dead okay the game continues it's been like this for 80 minutes kind of appropriate isn't it?
They didn't win the Spring Box but they can finish with a flourish now here is Franco Fundamenta with the yellow helmet the day Boo is not going to be the winner Connie McCaw nails it now Franks another chance for the All Blacks until Nanu looks for support Franks is still there pushes the serpentine out of the way curballo knocked down here is louis there the siren sounds kervalo janonu has had absolutely everything here goes larue whistle there is no advantage here and that will be the final whistle in one of the most notable matches in rugby Will we ever see the All Blacks win the rugby championship and won at Alice Park for the fourth time 38-27.
Okay, let's listen to Richie McCoy now, he's with Tony. Well Richie, yeah, what a test match, you've played some really tough ones. in your time, but how was that one compiled? And in terms of winning too, it's a great game to win. You know, we had both teams. I haven't seen Spring Box, uh, play a game like that. for a long time and you know, I don't know how many races there were, but there were a ton and yeah, I'm proud of the way the guys you know pushed themselves and you know there were a couple of times we lost. momentum but you know, keep believing but yeah like you say it was a great match the fact is you weren't going to be happy with a bonus point to take the championship where you really wanted to win this match yeah that would have been pretty.
Hollow to stand there and get the trophy for that, but I think you know you put those things aside and what keeps us going on this team is wanting to perform better and better and you know what better place to test yourself. and the box at Alice Park and that's why you play the game for the matches tonight, they threw everything at you and I guess the crucial periods in the game were when they tried to hit you with their starting line and you defended them yeah we. We worked on that a little bit and we knew that that's the heart of their game and you know if you can keep them from getting uh I guess you know capitalize on that kind of stuff in the game and I thought you know the half scorers. time and a couple of times we just handed the ball over made them pay at a critical moment we've been talking about it during the game how the hell do you feel like you haven't played a football game in a long time?
I just went through 80 minutes of probably the hardest test imaginable, yes sometimes I felt, don't worry about it, there were a couple of times where I was standing about 50 meters away, I think how, but I guess That you already know. You've got to push yourself and do what you can for the team, so yeah, we got there and of course the depth of the squad that you can bring in Body Barrett and a scorer tries a crucial try like that, says a lot about what you've built. here, yeah, I think it's a symptom of the environment you have, that you believe in the guys that come in and there will always be injuries and you fit right in.
You know we had to play with 14 men at times and I know all the guys had to try really hard for 20 minutes of the game, but yeah, proud of all the men, the fourth all-black team just to beat the Spring Box at Ellis Park, That must feel good, yeah, I guess just from a personal point of view. Your dream is to play in a trial here as a kid and get a win. You know, when it's pretty rare, it's amazing. Congratulations Richie, thank you, regards. Yes, thoughts here of Richie McCoy and the All Blacks have triumphed in the rugby championship and they.
They have beaten Spring Box here at Ellis Park in Johannesburg 38-27.
