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.

GREYLING!!!!!!!
15 Sep 2012, 11:10 am
Meyer is a failure as a coach. Only a moron could take over from PDV and manage to make his game plan look inspired.
15 Sep 2012, 11:11 am
Kitshoff is way better and at least has skills… Greyling is trash
15 Sep 2012, 11:11 am
Liebenberg cant throw for ****.
15 Sep 2012, 11:11 am
Dagg, Smith and Smith in the AB backline are class players.
15 Sep 2012, 11:12 am
I’m just so gutted for some of our players. Really am.
They don’t deserve a coach like Meyer.
15 Sep 2012, 11:12 am
I rest my case… The time has come. Please Mallet arrange a coup d’tat
15 Sep 2012, 11:12 am
This is pathetic. ****!!!!!!!!!!
15 Sep 2012, 11:12 am
fees. it’s been an ordinary game.
15 Sep 2012, 11:12 am
@Honesty Box Seymour-704: He has never been able to throw in. Sucks.
15 Sep 2012, 11:12 am
The Bokke have no leaders. I now understand why P duh persevered with Smith
15 Sep 2012, 11:12 am
grey@AiDoc-700: greying knock the ball 1st
15 Sep 2012, 11:12 am
Greyling will have to sneak into O.R. Tambo Airport disguised as Julius Malema to save himself from a lynching.
15 Sep 2012, 11:13 am
@Gumboots-707: It is up to SARU to sort this sh y te out now.
15 Sep 2012, 11:13 am
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.
15 Sep 2012, 11:13 am
Greyling my fark…
15 Sep 2012, 11:13 am
Greyling!!!!!!! D**S!!!!!
15 Sep 2012, 11:13 am

15 Sep 2012, 11:13 am
McCaw… how good is he!
15 Sep 2012, 11:13 am
Greyling is a disgrace
15 Sep 2012, 11:13 am
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….
15 Sep 2012, 11:13 am
Greyling must be the tickest fcken plank to have ever played for the Boks.
15 Sep 2012, 11:13 am
@Gumboots-703: yes, he must suffer the same fate as that other useless prick Werner Kruger. Morne and Kirchner must also fukoff for good.
15 Sep 2012, 11:14 am
SA cocked that one up, they had their chances.
15 Sep 2012, 11:14 am
Dean Greyling …. LOL what a performance ! if he ever plays another match for the boks ill be shocked
15 Sep 2012, 11:14 am
if Greyling ever plays for the Boks again it will be a traversty he is the worse bikke EVER, fecking ever!!!!
15 Sep 2012, 11:14 am
Welcome back next game Deano. You also have an Indian bookie mate. Loser.
15 Sep 2012, 11:14 am
Dean Greyling you c>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>!!!
15 Sep 2012, 11:14 am
Sickennning..
MEYER Morne and Greyling rape the team.
15 Sep 2012, 11:14 am
Greyling, Morne and Meyer should be wrapped up in duct tape and dropped in the Vaal.
15 Sep 2012, 11:14 am
@Honesty Box Seymour-718: you racist cnut
15 Sep 2012, 11:14 am
Greyling. OMG. You idiot.
15 Sep 2012, 11:14 am
Did you just see the utter **** that Greyling has dished up…
No wonder the Bulls rugby is in turmoil…
15 Sep 2012, 11:14 am
The Bulls players have single handedly lost the Boks the game
15 Sep 2012, 11:14 am
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.
15 Sep 2012, 11:14 am
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
15 Sep 2012, 11:14 am
@corporal punishment-721: Despondent because we could actually have won this game, were it not for a stubborn, backward and totallyfuckingretarded COACH.
15 Sep 2012, 11:14 am
@Spiesisworthless1-735: *for turning
15 Sep 2012, 11:14 am
Can’t be bothered to rate all the players, but here are the two that matter:
Morne Steyn: 0
Dean Greyling: -2
15 Sep 2012, 11:15 am
Two useless teams at the so-called top end of rugby
15 Sep 2012, 11:15 am
Well done AB’s, derved the vistory
15 Sep 2012, 11:15 am
@ 712.hsark
but the ball went dead off green, Advantage?
15 Sep 2012, 11:15 am
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.
15 Sep 2012, 11:15 am
Greyling again… Couldn’t happen to a bigger ****
15 Sep 2012, 11:15 am
Sickennning..
MEYER Morne and Greyling rape the team.
There goes loosing bonus point.
Seriously nausiating.
15 Sep 2012, 11:15 am
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…
15 Sep 2012, 11:15 am
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”.
15 Sep 2012, 11:15 am
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.
15 Sep 2012, 11:15 am
well done AB…..SA really farked themselves….hope HM choke on his farking walkie talkie….goddam idiot.
15 Sep 2012, 11:16 am
**** off Meyer. **** off.
