All Blacks 21 Springboks 11
15 Sep 2012
GARETH DUNCAN brought you live commentary from the Rugby Championship Test in Dunedin..
FULL TIME: ALL BLACKS 21 SPRINGBOKS 11
80 mins: ALL BLACKS PENALTY! Cruden denies the Boks a losing bonus point with the scoring act of the match. The ball sails over the crossbar and the final whistle blows. ALL BLACKS WIN 21-11!
79 mins: Cruden has a late shot at goal, but hits the post. And a rushing McCaw gets the ball and creates some late drama. But the Boks restrict the New Zealanders, but illegally so and the All Blacks have a late penalty.
78 mins: Boks find themselves in All Blacks’ danger zone, but they’re errant and can’t capitalise. New Zealand escape thanks to a big Dagg clearance. The fullback shows his big boot
73 mins: ALL BLACKS PENALTY! Cruden converts another penalty soon after Goosen’s three-pointer. All Blacks in a very, very comfortable position now. ALL BLACKS LEAD 18-11!
70 mins: SPRINGBOK PENALTY! Goosen lands his second kick at goal, from the right touchline. Wonderful attempt. ALL BLACKS LEAD 15-11!
67 mins: Replacement flyhalf Johan Goosen gets his first chance at goal – from 55m out! Gets some good distance, but falls short. Good try from the young Bok.
65 mins: All Blacks get a penalty in a kickable position, but Cruden misses this time.
63 mins: BIG BLOW! Greyling costs the Boks a man as he gets a yellow card for foul play on Richie McCaw. All Blacks against 14-man South Africa.
60 mins: ALL BLACKS TRY! Brilliant stuff from replacement scrumhalf Aaron Smith. The ball spills out of the breakdown, but he picks it up and has dart. He beats three defenders as he dives over for a telling score. Cruden adds the extras. ALL BLACKS LEAD 15-8!
57 mins: Poor kicks from Pienaar and Morne Steyn costing Boks the ascendancy. Morne Steyn tries to find some space behind the All Blacks line, but Dagg punishes the Bok 10 with a big clearance.
50 mins: ALL BLACKS PENALTY! Replacement prop Dean Greyling gives away a silly penalty at the breakdown, and Cruden punishes the Boks. THE SCORES ARE LEVEL AT 8-8!
48 mins: SPRINGBOK TRY! Individual brilliance from Habana. The speedster breaks the line, and chips ahead before chasing it down to score. What a try. Morne Steyn doesn’t convert. SPRINGBOKS LEAD 8-3!
42 mins: Boks gaining good metres, and hit All Blacks hard on attack. But Habana loses the ball in the tackle, and it’s another butchered opportunity in the opening minutes of a half.
41 mins: Springboks get a deep kick-off to start the game. All Blacks kick a poor clearance in return. Good attacking position for the tourists early on.
HALF-TIME: ALL BLACKS 5 SPRINGBOKS 3
40 mins: All Blacks prop Tony Woodcock concedes a late penalty at the lineout, taking out a jumper in the air. Morne Steyn gets the final chance to score points before the break. But he misses … again!
36 mins: Lucky let-off for Habana, as he makes a hash of fielding an up-and-under. He clearly touches the ball as the kick goes out on the full. But the assistant referee misses it, and takes the play back 30m and gives the Boks possession.
32 mins: ANOTHER MISSED PENALTY! From five penalty attempts, the Boks have now missed four. Morne Steyn pulls his third shot at goal – and it wasn’t a difficult one.
30 mins: Boks win a penalty 58m out from goal, and Frans Steyns argues he can do it. He gets a good strike, but it falls inches short from the crossbar.
28 mins: Boks do well to put themselves in good attacking positions, but their backline play has been so uninspiring.
26 mins: Boks defend the All Blacks rolling maul well, and force the tunrover. Kruger does well coming through the middle and wins the visitors a scrum, relieving the pressure.
24 mins: BIG HIT! Read welcomes Vermeulen to New Zealand with a big, big tackle. And the All Blacks win a penalty at the breakdown.
22 mins: Springboks are doing well in contest at the breakdown on defence. No 8 Duane Vermeulen does the job on this occasion, and Morne Steyn gets his second chance at the posts. But he misses as he slices the goal attempt, which fades to the left.
19 mins: ALL BLACKS TRY! Offloads galore, punching holes in the Bok defence. Lock Sam Whitelock’s offload to No 8 Kieran Read puts the hardman into space and he sucks in two defenders. And during the tackle, he offloads to fullback Israel Dagg, who has a clear run to the whitewash. Cruden misses the conversion. ALL BLACKS LEAD 5-3
17 mins: SPRINGBOK PENALTY! Morne Steyn finds the target from his first attempt. the Boks are finally ahead. SPRINGBOKS LEAD 3-0!
16 mins: Bok pack doing good work with some strong and effective ball carries. They milk a penalty against the All Blacks defence, and flyhalf Morne Steyn will get a shot at goal.
14 mins: The All Blacks find good field position from the resulting touch finder, but knock the ball forward at the lineout. Then they concede a penalty at the following scrum. The Boks are dominating the set-pieces.
12 mins: Frans Steyn carries the ball against Cruden, but the New Zealand No 10 does well to take down the big man. All Blacks contest well, and the Bok support concede a penalty at the breakdown.
9 mins: Habana wins a penalty in a kickable, but difficult position. Inside centre Francois Steyn steps up for his first shot at goal, from about 48m out. He strikes … but it’s wide.
7 mins: The Boks are enjoying most of the possession and playing the game in the All Blacks’ half, but not making much of this early ascendancy.
4 mins: MISSED CHANCE!!! Wing Francois Hougaard puts the boot to a loose ball and finds space behind the All Blacks line. Possession is recovered and the Boks are 5m out. After a couple of drives, the ball is spread wide but fullback Zane Kirchner’s pass to wing Bryan Habana is spilled, and the hosts escape. The Boks butcher a clear try-scoring opportunity.
KICK-OFF: All Blacks flyhalf Aaron Cruden starts the game with a high kick-off. And it’s a good start as lock Juandre Kruger takes it in neatly. Scrumhalf Ruan Pienaar clears to the halfway line.

15 Sep 2012, 10:58 am
@Hurricane-598: Come now mate, he might have been wrong there as from his angle one couldnt see that clearly, but atleast he is a very unbiased commentator,
15 Sep 2012, 10:58 am
gotta love it when the kiwis tell their own commentators to shut up. Marshall is excellent and very fair.
15 Sep 2012, 10:58 am
Greyling is a dom ********. Never allow him in the bok jersey again.
15 Sep 2012, 10:58 am
@poppa69-611: Did they chuck you out of the pub already?
15 Sep 2012, 10:59 am
Greyling, Morne and Niknaks……..Losers!
15 Sep 2012, 10:59 am
Please Lord fire Meyer now…I have seen this movie before…Strauli.
15 Sep 2012, 10:59 am
Strange decision – they are playing against elbow Greyling-less boks and they take a kick.? Why not use extra man advantage and run it?
15 Sep 2012, 10:59 am
Lol world champs?? This nz Team? Then rugby is in biggggggg trouble
15 Sep 2012, 10:59 am
Dean Greyling. Dumb fuckk
15 Sep 2012, 10:59 am
Flo kills mccaw
15 Sep 2012, 10:59 am
I hope Greyling is cited and banned for 6 weeks. Cillers should be on the bench anyway.
15 Sep 2012, 11:00 am
Lol Meyer is the new Straueli.
15 Sep 2012, 11:00 am
McCaw ran over Frans
15 Sep 2012, 11:00 am
Katman. nah I’m no thug. a few saffas have been removed. like the game really
15 Sep 2012, 11:00 am
Bakkies would have been really proud, thanks Grayling.
Now Morne can breathe again, he won’t be sole scapegoat.
15 Sep 2012, 11:00 am
Kick for touch!!!
15 Sep 2012, 11:00 am
Blue bulls killing bok rugby
15 Sep 2012, 11:00 am
Louw, awesome!
15 Sep 2012, 11:00 am
hehehe Coetzee hits Reeeechie like a torpedo
15 Sep 2012, 11:00 am
I like Marshall too. He’s my fav commentator. Very neutral.
15 Sep 2012, 11:00 am
@katman-609: he touched McCheats jaw.
15 Sep 2012, 11:00 am
“Daar is nie pille vir domheid nie”
15 Sep 2012, 11:00 am
What a pity…
15 Sep 2012, 11:00 am
@Honesty Box Seymour-614:
Does not make him correct does it.
Like my post said.
15 Sep 2012, 11:00 am
I don’t blame Greyling for getting frustrated (although I don’t condone the hit), McCaw had been cleared out and STILL he sat on his backside cheating with the t/j saying nothing.
15 Sep 2012, 11:00 am
If this doesn’t show Meyer that Morne is **** and his gameplan is outdated then nothing will. Get on the phone to Mallett, Meyer!
15 Sep 2012, 11:01 am
Marshall tries so hard to be fair, his first instinct is to call for the opposition. Good on him to mix it up for the one eyed kiwi viewers. Whilst the abs are in the lead, the boks are still not out of it!
15 Sep 2012, 11:01 am
Goosen making a difference already…
15 Sep 2012, 11:01 am
Jeepers these kiwis infringe a lot at the rucks hey?
15 Sep 2012, 11:01 am
Immediately better with Goosen
15 Sep 2012, 11:01 am
@ grant
Trouble is they play like this and then put 2-3 tries in the last period.
15 Sep 2012, 11:01 am
WTf is wrong with HM??? Lambie still not on, is he waiting till it is too late?? what a moron, Kirchner has been shocking
15 Sep 2012, 11:01 am
Tounie Houtpiel not the smartest prop either.
15 Sep 2012, 11:02 am
Why has it taken Meyer wo long to see what every other rugby fan knows, Morne is kak and Goosen is on completely another level.
15 Sep 2012, 11:02 am
Cheap shot, Greyling
15 Sep 2012, 11:02 am
Great kick Goosen
15 Sep 2012, 11:02 am
Why oh why wait until now for Goosen. *****.
15 Sep 2012, 11:02 am
That’s the end of Steyn’s career, right there.
