Mighty Boks versus wee Abs

Weren't we supposed to be better without the ball? Just asking.

At 17-3 we're not going to defend our way to a win. We need to use the ball.

Good defense Am.

Boks only making 63% of their tackles.

Poor kick onto three All Blacks with just one Bok chasing.

Like to see that again. Du Toit seemed to knock that backwards. 

Wee abs lead 17- 3 at half time. 

Steph drops it and that's the half. Bok defense kept the ABs stuck for the first 20 odd, then Faf's poor pass broke the hold, ABs found the kick pass past Mapimpi on the pinch defense to break our hold and the Boks have no clue what to do with the ball when they have it other than bash and kick. Not looking good right now. We're falling off tackles because the ABs are targeting the space between forwards instead of just bashing into defenders.

Not been a good half at all for the Boks.  Our pinch defence has been countered by the cross kick and we've just hoofed away possession.

Du Toit, Vermeulen and Faf are making mistakes and Pollard looks ruffled.

Kolbe can hold his head high. Only bok turning up.

Aaaaaaaaaah shamepies ... the Goats not doing well??

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahaaaaa!!

I wonder why?

Could it be all the quotas ... I wonder ... hmmmm ... puzzling ??

Go All Blackssssssssssssssss!!!

We on.

Beaudy gets a bloodied nose tackling Duane.

Sam Cane's head is a magnet for impacts .

Quota players are costing SA an easy win, certainly not the SA antiquated ways that produced nothing out of 20 minutes of domination but a 3 point kick.

Still way, way too many quota players on the field. Even though it takes to look closely to find them.

Ref looks to be in nz pocket? 

Scrum penalty against the Boks. Lineout just outside our 22.

Bok scrum not looking so good

Kolbeeeeee, so close.

Kolbe almost scores. Perhaps a chip ahead was needed. 

Du Toit scored near posts. 

Game on. 

Rassie looks to have inspired the oaks? 

Steph goes straight through the ruck and scores. That helps.

Abs falling off tackle so try to Boks

Bring on Nyakane and Kriel. 

Jantjes - give him enough time 

More a case of Kolbe inspiring the okes at the moment.

Mapimpi just containing Reece.

I think moz talked to Steph during halftime.

Bunny-Will Sillyams looking to come on. Louw on for K olisi.

Shit W illie, we needed a good pass there.

All Black hands all over the ball, somehow it is deemed legal.

Try scoring opportunity botched. 

What a poor pass by Willie! Certain try botched. 

Breathless sequence started by a poor bo x kick that bounced right for us, good run by Duane and we were probably a good pass from Willie to Kolbe away from scoring.

Very dramatic play but AB defence held.

Hansen made a lot of changes to get players time, he's taking a risk.

Faf concedes a penalty at the scrum.

Lineout penalty Boks as Mostert is bothered in the air. Looked more like his lifters lost control of him.

And "useless" Mostert steals a crucial line out.

Great drop 

Dro ppie Pollard, 17-13.

Boks resort to 3 cheap points.

Another poor box kick Faf.

Bit of handbags.
