Kurt-Lee chases well but the ABs come away with it and Roigard is away, sends to Lakai who is tackled by Sacha and then we're all the way back for a Bok penalty.
ABs penalised for playing on the floor!
Refs taking no shit from the ABs today
The Boks maul it up and Krappies is over!
I don't see what the AR saw there. Harsh penalty.
Krappies is on fire. But nooo, let's play Reinach.
Sacha converts and it's 17-7.
And Crappies is in!
Crappies jou bicuit
Sacha slots the conversion
17-7 Boks
Hooker regathers the up and under and the Boks are on attack until Jesse spills it. Advantage was over.
And now Kriel drops is and pisses away the advantage
Boks are all over the ABs today.
Nice offload from DW to Kurt-Lee . . . Boks on attack . . . more phases and then it's a penalty to the ABs.
Sacha kicking way too much but Boks still have it . . . Sacha misses a drop goal attempt.
More kicking and then Siya knocks on for an AB scrum.
Bounce of the ball defos all Boks at the moment...but they need to get soothe from this
Sacha kicking way too much. Now he kicks it out direct.
For fuck sake Sacha!!!!
Why try that!?
Sacha boots it straight out, big respite for the ABs.
Sacha really having a shit game so far
Don't know why he's channeling his inner Naas today . . .
Sustained spell of possession for the ABs but they're not making much ground.
The ABs still come . . . now they have a penalty advantage . . . but they don;t need it as Jordan bursts through . . . but did he ground it?
Finally after 30+ phases the ABs score through Jordan.
Yes, it looks good. Half time and it's 17-14.
Correction, I called half time too early . . . still playing.
All Blacks score after 20+ phases
ABs score...gosh, the ABs refuse to go wide and Jordan eventually stretches to score.
The Boks have been wasteful and are paying for it now.
That all came because Sacha tried to be clever
All came from the momentum shift from Sacha's direct boot into touch.
Great tackle by Jordie on Willemse.
Eben our best player ….Dud Allende having a good game as well
Wiese, Marx, DDA, Krappies, Eben rocking it yes. Willemse has also been good. Poor Hooker is doing tackling and ball catching practice again.
Sacha misses touch with a penalty and now it is half time.
Sacha kicks the penalty dead. Get Manie on, seriously.
For heaven's sake and now Sacha overcooks it and the Boks go into the half with a 3 point lead that should be more.
Hate to say it, but bring Manie on, it's not Sacha's day
The Boks look vulnerable every time the ABs run. But at least the Boks are making ground with ball in hand.
The slippery ball hasn't caused too many handling mistakes on catches but seems to be causing issues with holding on in contact.
Sacha was aweful in this half. Still, I wish he would just run more.
Sacha's biggest problem, as ever, is he creates no structure around him, something Manie does. Sacha plays his own game.
JDV in studio also mentioning we need more structure in our attack.
DdA my man 'o half ... loving EE energy
& the recharged Casper
Lovely break by Arendse but how quick is Rieko hauling him in.
Great to see a scrummie not fucking around with lateral running 5 steps every time before passing. Now Sacha blown for side entry. Sacha at this point doing his best to piss away every advantage we have.
And no Sacha pisses away yet more momentum.
Holy shit he is playing badly.
That was a totally unforced error and deprived the Boks of scoring early in the half
Beautiful Crappies makes a crucial steal!
Johnny Clegg Savuka ... playing Great heart
New props for the Boks, Lood on for Nortje and AE replaces Siya.
Well done van der Bergh….text book steal
Didn't look like Krappies ever released Roigard there before going for the jackle. Lucky penalty if so.
