Brilliant tackle by Mo’unga…..if Penaud carried the ball in his right arm it was a try.
Lovely French try….great skilll by Jailibert
That should be a card
Plum I agree with your earlier assessment….once again they should have gone for the corner, on a difficult kick and a man up,
France frittering away the yellow…they could regret it.
Wow….kind of a repeat of the Springbok game
This game was quite a few levels above the Bok test a couple of weeks ago. That game was a bit of mess, and the Kiwis really didn't show at all. The Boks haven't been in a test like this, or won one like this, in many years. I'd have to go back nearly ten years for a Bok performance of that level. When it mattered, in the RC, this All Black side comprehensively outclassed the Boks for 80 minutes.
My man of the match Jaco Peyper. He handled a number of difficult decisions fairly without blowing the game with a second yellow for Will Jordan.
Alldritt looked like a young Vermeulen out there and Aaron Smith actually outplayed Du Pont, they were my respective players of the game…although Mauvaka was brilliant as well.
Yes, glad the ref wasn't a problem, none of us need controversy.
