All Blacks 21 Springboks 11

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.

    GREYLING!!!!!!!

  • 702.Dex: Reply to this comment

    Meyer is a failure as a coach. Only a moron could take over from PDV and manage to make his game plan look inspired.

  • 703.Gumboots: Reply to this comment

    Kitshoff is way better and at least has skills… Greyling is trash

  • 704.Honesty Box Seymour: Reply to this comment

  • 705.katman: Reply to this comment

    Dagg, Smith and Smith in the AB backline are class players.

  • 706.The Sharks rugby pedigree is packaged as dog food: Reply to this comment

    I’m just so gutted for some of our players. Really am.

    They don’t deserve a coach like Meyer.

    Greyling will have to sneak into O.R. Tambo Airport disguised as Julius Malema to save himself from a lynching.

    @Gumboots-707: It is up to SARU to sort this sh y te out now.

  • 715.TASSIES: Reply to this comment

    thats it. AB’s take it. Or more accurately, HM gave it to them. If he can’t apologise for this debacle then I will have lost complete respect for the man. TOTAL.

  • 721.corporal punishment: Reply to this comment

    Don’t know why u boks are so despondent, it sounds like you have the better team, just didn’t kick your goals. The AB’s pack would seem to be on the wane….

  • 722.katman: Reply to this comment

    Greyling must be the tickest fcken plank to have ever played for the Boks.

  • 723.RL: Reply to this comment

    @Gumboots-703: yes, he must suffer the same fate as that other useless prick Werner Kruger. Morne and Kirchner must also fukoff for good.

  • 730.bok2007: Reply to this comment

    Greyling, Morne and Meyer should be wrapped up in duct tape and dropped in the Vaal.

  • 731.sharks_lover: Reply to this comment

    @Honesty Box Seymour-718: you racist cnut

  • 732.Jinx2: Reply to this comment

    Greyling. OMG. You idiot.

  • 733.Gumboots: Reply to this comment

    Did you just see the utter **** that Greyling has dished up…

    No wonder the Bulls rugby is in turmoil…

  • 734.Sir Watson: Reply to this comment

    The Bulls players have single handedly lost the Boks the game

  • 735.Spiesisworthless1: Reply to this comment

    Heineke must take complete responsibility a passionate Springbok win into a loss. Keeping Kirtchner on for pretty much the whole game, Keeping Morne on for the 60, and substituting Greyling for Beast, all cost us a healthy win.

  • 736.Hurricane: Reply to this comment

    Well Boks would be happy that they have turned there game around.
    But saying that the ABs played an absolute cr@p game.
    So take what you like out of tonights game.Both teams played cr@p

  • 737.The Sharks rugby pedigree is packaged as dog food: Reply to this comment

    @corporal punishment-721: Despondent because we could actually have won this game, were it not for a stubborn, backward and totallyfuckingretarded COACH.

  • 738.Spiesisworthless1: Reply to this comment

    @Spiesisworthless1-735: *for turning

  • 739.katman: Reply to this comment

    Can’t be bothered to rate all the players, but here are the two that matter:

    Morne Steyn: 0
    Dean Greyling: -2

  • 740.Dawn: Reply to this comment

    Two useless teams at the so-called top end of rugby

  • 741.sharks_lover: Reply to this comment

    Well done AB’s, derved the vistory

  • 742.AiDoc: Reply to this comment

    @ 712.hsark
    but the ball went dead off green, Advantage?

  • 743.Micky Wicky: Reply to this comment

    And we walk away with zero points… what a f***ng disgrace.
    Greyling and Morne please step forward.
    Well done to the ABs for winning a game they were so dominated in.

  • 744.silent_shadow: Reply to this comment

    Greyling again… Couldn’t happen to a bigger ****

  • 745.Guns: Reply to this comment

    Sickennning..
    MEYER Morne and Greyling rape the team.

    There goes loosing bonus point.

    Seriously nausiating.

  • 746.Gumboots: Reply to this comment

    Well done AB’s. At least everyone can see the incompetence of the Coach and his love children…

    A shame and we should all vote with our money…

  • 747.Honesty Box Seymour: Reply to this comment

    10 point win but it was closer than that. Boks cocked up 2 or 3 try scoring opportunities and missed plenty kicks. Serious questions need to be asked of Meyer’s “gameplan”.

  • 748.poppa69: Reply to this comment

    and there it is

    great effort from the Bokkes. really turned up and if they had a kicker probably would have won

    Greyling very silly

    commiserations Bok fans.

  • 749.bos_otter: Reply to this comment

    well done AB…..SA really farked themselves….hope HM choke on his farking walkie talkie….goddam idiot.

  • 750.kaksioek: Reply to this comment

    **** off Meyer. **** off.
