GARETH DUNCAN brought you live commentary from the Rugby Championship Test at Soccer City.
FULL TIME: SPRINGBOKS 16 ALL BLACKS 32
80 mins: All Blacks get a penalty as the clocks ticks over the 80th minute. Replacement flyhalf Aaron Cruden steps up to kick some extra points, but he misses the penalty. Rolland blows the final whistle. ALL BLACKS WIN 32-16!
76 mins: All Blacks easing to victory. Forcing South Africa to play from their own territory. Poor kicks not aiding the hosts.
72 mins: ALL BLACK PENALTY! The All Blacks suffocating the Springboks, even with 14 men during this final quarter. Carter then punishes the hosts with his first penalty of the match. ALL BLACKS LEAD 32-16!
68 mins: Springboks on the front foot in the Kiwi red zone. However, South Africa lose the ball forward, 5m out from the tryline.
66 mins: YELLOW CARD! Dagg gets sin binned as the All Blacks give away another penalty. Rolland reminds the fullback that his team was on a warning.
64 mins: ALL BLACK DROP GOAL! Carter finds space and time at first receiver, and decides to pot an easy three-pointer. ALL BLACKS LEAD 29-16!
59 mins: Springbok attack gets going from the lineout, and they’re 5m out. However, a quick pass from Jantjies pops out from Habana’s grasps and the All Blacks escape.
58 mins: Springboks get a kickable penalty, but De Villiers orders the side to look for the try and they kick for touch.
56 mins: Springboks concede a penalty on the halfway mark. Carter has the chance to build on to this comfortable lead, but he pulls his effort.
54 mins: ALL BLACK TRY! From an 8m scrum, a smart backline move puts outside centre Conrad Smith through for a great try. Carter kicks the extras. ALL BLACKS LEAD 26-16!
52 mins: GREAT RUN! Gear showing his strength as ball carrier, bumping off three tackles as he rushes into the Springbok red zone.
49 mins: Jantjies misses his next goal attempt as it hits the post. Missing crucial points here.
48 mins: Rolland hands Richie McCaw and his All Blacks an official warning for poor discipline. This after New Zealand give away their ninth penalty away.
47 mins: Jantjies gets another shot at goal, kicks it flat, but misses.
46 mins: GREAT STEAL! Louw showing his quality in the Springbok No 6 jersey. He’s clearly made a difference since joining the team. Gives South Africa another kickable penalty.
41 mins: ALL BLACKS TRY! New Zealand score immediately. An offload from Dagg puts No 8 Kieran Read into space, and he’s tackled short. But he pops the ball up to Nonu, who dots down easily. Carter converts. ALL BLACKS LEAD 19-16!
41 mins: Carter gets things on the way again with a high kick-off, and lock Brodie Retalick steals possession. And from the resulting breakdown, the All Blacks are looking dangerous.
HALF-TIME: SPRINGBOKS 16 ALL BLACKS 12
40 mins: SPRINGBOK PENALTY! All Blacks concede another penalty as they crumble at scrum in centre field. Jantjies slots it, which is the final move of the half. SPRINGBOKS LEAD 16-12!
36 mins: SPRINGBOK PENALTY! Doesn’t take long for Jantjies to perform his duties as the All Blacks concede a penalty with inside centre Ma’a Nonu caught offside. The Lions flyhalf lines up and slots his first points in Test rugby. SPRINGBOKS LEAD 13-12!
34 mins: Goosen limps off early, and Elton Jantjies comes on for an early run-on off the bench.
33 mins: ALL BLACK TRY! Habana’s eye for the intercept allows the visitors to have an extra man out wide on attack. Fullback Zane Kirchner is drawn in, and wing Hosea Gear shades him on his inside and puts scrumhalf Aaron Smith through for the try. Carter converts. ALL BLACKS LEAD 12-10!
30 mins: Goosen struggling with a knee injury, and limping badly. Elton Jantjies warms up on the sidelines.
28 mins: All Blacks showing some good confidence. Whitelock beats lock Andries Bekker to the ball in the lineouts off a Springbok throw.
27 mins: ALL BLACKS TRY! From the counter-attack, New Zealand expose the space out side and lock Sam Whitelock bashes over. Flyhalf Dan carter misses the conversion. SPRINGBOKS LEAD 10-5!
25 mins: FANTASTIC COUNTER RUCK! The All Blacks burst into the Springbok 22m area after collecting a spilled ball inside their own red zone. Loosehead prop Beast Mtawarira and wing Francois Hougaard drive over the ball, and Boks get it back. Outside centre Jaco Taute clears, but it’s not out.
23 mins: Springboks commanding play in this match so far. All Blacks starved of possession.
21 mins: SPRINGBOK PENALTY! Goosen kicks over an easy penalty to stretch South Africa’s lead. SPRINGBOKS LEAD 10-0!
20 mins: Great attacking pressure from the Springboks. Doing very well against a strong All Blacks defence. Again, Rolland finds an offence in the visitors’ guard – this time, offside.
12 mins: SPRINGBOK TRY! From a set-piece from a midfield lineout, the Springboks force gaps into the All Blacks defence with clever interplay. While the ball looked like it went forward from flank Francois Louw, referee said it went back off a defender’s hand. Captain Jean de Villiers gathers the loose ball, and puts wing Bryan Habana into space. Goosen converts the easy extras. SPRINGBOKS LEAD 7-0!
8 mins: The All Blacks have been penalised twice at the lineouts so far.
5 mins: All Blacks contesting well on defence, but concede another penalty. This time, from a midfield scrum as flank Liam Messam tries to poach possession from the side. Goosen steps up again … and this time his effort hits the post. Things not going the kid’s way this afternoon.
3 mins: Goosen misses the 40m effort.
2 mins: Great defensive effort from the All Blacks, driving the Springboks back on attack. However, the concede a kickable penalty as the forwards drive through the breakdowns from the side. Goosen gets an early pop at goal.
KICK-OFF: Springbok flyhalf Johan Goosen starts the match with a deep kick-off. All Blacks take it in neatly, and fullback Israel Dagg clears the ball. Not much distance though.

Fox sports have cut to adds with 2 mins still to play in the half!!!!
6 Oct 2012, 17:46 pm
Exciting stuff. Rugby needs longer halves
6 Oct 2012, 17:46 pm
@Mostofyou-146: You’re accusing a Bok player of currently taking drugs. That is damn serious.
6 Oct 2012, 17:46 pm
Jantjies just booted Goosen from the Springbok squad.
6 Oct 2012, 17:47 pm
@corporal punishment-153:
Fox are the worst sports provider i have ever experienced
6 Oct 2012, 17:47 pm
@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-148: Except the ref gifted them a try by preventing Elton from taking the field.
6 Oct 2012, 17:47 pm
Jantjies shows he has the balls for test rugby. The Stormers have to get this guy…
6 Oct 2012, 17:47 pm
and we have been explaining jetjag to these palookas for how long…?..
6 Oct 2012, 17:48 pm
@Dwarslat-156: Wouldn’t it be fantastic if the Boks beat the ABs with a non-white flyhalf for the first time…
6 Oct 2012, 17:48 pm
@mikeybrass-155:
Yeah they should only start taking drugs when they become a post player career media personality.
6 Oct 2012, 17:48 pm
@mikeybrass-158:
agreed.
he’s still affected by last weeks mistake.
6 Oct 2012, 17:49 pm
wtf, have the Boks conceded a penalty yet? Cmon Rolland, I know the Boks are at home but this is bullsh*t
6 Oct 2012, 17:49 pm
Pay no heed to Nellynwata
6 Oct 2012, 17:49 pm
@chch-162: *head desk*
6 Oct 2012, 17:50 pm
Oh dear. Looks like a couple resident Kiwis are upset
6 Oct 2012, 17:51 pm
nice kicking elton!
6 Oct 2012, 17:52 pm
no problems with the ref today,SA perfect half of rugby(tongue in cheek)ABs doing well to still be in it.no problems with habs try,even though passed before the 22 line and caught over it.
6 Oct 2012, 17:52 pm

They won’t let youse down
6 Oct 2012, 17:52 pm
@mikeybrass-167:
who?
6 Oct 2012, 17:52 pm
@Transformation-168: JdV looking a different player outside running flyhalves.
6 Oct 2012, 17:53 pm
Listening to bok commentators on fox sports. Laughably biased.
AB’s are playing exactly the tactics I predicted (kicking for territory). Hasn’t worked, apart from with the second Ab try coming from a lineout turnover after a dagg line kick.
Aaron smiths box kicks have been awful, putting no pressure on the boks.
I suspect there will be a change of tactics in the second half, and piri to be on with 30 to go.
6 Oct 2012, 17:53 pm
Goosen first needs a Super 15 comp to grow his confidence.
6 Oct 2012, 17:53 pm
6 Oct 2012, 17:54 pm
Mmm, so the fwd pass whinge has started, oh dear
Great game so far…..
6 Oct 2012, 17:54 pm
If we bel!eve we WILL ach!eve.
6 Oct 2012, 17:54 pm
Poor game so far.
6 Oct 2012, 17:54 pm
The stats against the Abs…..how they are one try away from taking the lead is interesting
6 Oct 2012, 17:54 pm
Haha- who looks the better team eh – the mighty ALL BLACKS !’!!!
Your boys are pretenders ,,,,,, mwha ha ha
6 Oct 2012, 17:54 pm
@corporal punishment-173: and Kiwis commentators are bastions of neutrality eh.
6 Oct 2012, 17:54 pm
@corporal punishment-173: I think Dagg’s kicks have worked well. NZ can be happy with the return from that half, they should be stronger in the last 20 as the Bok pack tire.
6 Oct 2012, 17:55 pm
I think South Africa deserve their lead, not taking away anything from them, lets just hope Rolland dislays some balance
6 Oct 2012, 17:55 pm
@corporal punishment-173: ABs kicking too much. Thy’re eating up the metres just putting the ball through the hands.
6 Oct 2012, 17:55 pm
What a try!!!!!!
6 Oct 2012, 17:55 pm
our defence is still rubbish
6 Oct 2012, 17:55 pm
Nice. Blacks show whos the boss.
6 Oct 2012, 17:56 pm
hehe, could have got closer to the posts though Nonu
6 Oct 2012, 17:56 pm
superb again from Dagg, he has been excellent
6 Oct 2012, 17:56 pm
Stupid!!!!!!!!!!
6 Oct 2012, 17:56 pm

6 Oct 2012, 17:56 pm

6 Oct 2012, 17:57 pm
Too fn good for you – beautiful – nonu try
6 Oct 2012, 17:57 pm

Nice of the boks to gift us points like this – we don’t deserve to be in this game.
6 Oct 2012, 17:58 pm
