6 Oct 2012
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.

Chch – snap!
6 Oct 2012, 18:24 pm
It’s sad how woeful and toothless we look on attack, whether it’s on first or after multiple phases. The AB’s make ground, look calm and organised every time they’ve got the ball. We’ve got a long way to go…
6 Oct 2012, 18:24 pm
On comes the penalty machine, Adam thompson
6 Oct 2012, 18:24 pm

forward passes galore
6 Oct 2012, 18:25 pm
certainly the tackler with no ruck
6 Oct 2012, 18:25 pm
Forward pass, mofos, by a mile again.
Whatever, Blacks to beat those cheats.
6 Oct 2012, 18:26 pm
Great game
6 Oct 2012, 18:26 pm
justice
6 Oct 2012, 18:26 pm

6 Oct 2012, 18:26 pm
Play the ball wide from 5m out!!!!!!
6 Oct 2012, 18:27 pm
NUMBER FOUR FILTHY BLACK JUST GETS AWAY WITH WHAT HIS DONE THERE
6 Oct 2012, 18:27 pm
@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-310: Don’t forget to mop the froth from the floor, you may slip and brake something.
6 Oct 2012, 18:27 pm
Seriously – the ABs are playing at a far better tempo, and urgency, you have to admire it, no
matter who you support
It’s fn first class isn’t it ?
6 Oct 2012, 18:27 pm
It was an AB hand knocking the ball back, not a Bok forward
6 Oct 2012, 18:27 pm
haha Veldsmen shaking his head
6 Oct 2012, 18:28 pm
Multiple penalties at that maul. Lock and Kieran Reid collapsing the maul!
6 Oct 2012, 18:28 pm
16 v 14 and still kicking arse.
6 Oct 2012, 18:28 pm
@KiaKahaNZ-320: Agree, but Boks arte missing straight forward tackles
6 Oct 2012, 18:29 pm
Can the abs hold on with a man down? Richie dodged a bullet handling that ball in the ruck.
6 Oct 2012, 18:29 pm
Annvaar dit. Die All Blacks is die beter span. They are true champions. Perhaps Murray Deaker (NZ commen tator) was right stating that the Springbok tactics are ice age.
6 Oct 2012, 18:29 pm
Come on Lambie.
Where is JdJ now???????
6 Oct 2012, 18:30 pm
For goodness sake bring De Jongh & Liebenberg on Heyneke you thick duck
6 Oct 2012, 18:30 pm
@Ex-327: Mallett needs to be brought in as a consultant.
6 Oct 2012, 18:30 pm
Daggs sending off was ****. Allan Rolland sucks tonight. But hey, bring it on
6 Oct 2012, 18:31 pm
Where is the feckin fend
6 Oct 2012, 18:31 pm
Boks looked more composed when Goosen was at flyhalf. Jantjies is passing but not really running…
6 Oct 2012, 18:31 pm
Thats why you dont drop Cilliers for Oostguzyen.
6 Oct 2012, 18:32 pm
WHAT?? 2 penalties in a row for the Blacks?
The ref is on a mission, LOL.
6 Oct 2012, 18:32 pm
Oosthuzyen*
6 Oct 2012, 18:32 pm
Hansen has proven himself to be a top class coach.
6 Oct 2012, 18:33 pm
The Boks can only kick and scrum. Very little skill.
6 Oct 2012, 18:33 pm
Hard for the boks to come back now
6 Oct 2012, 18:33 pm
@mikeybrass-333: Boks forwards were much more on top when Goosen was on
6 Oct 2012, 18:33 pm
@mikeybrass-333: You call it distributing the ball Jantjies had a couple of runs, ball must move wide!
6 Oct 2012, 18:33 pm
snakey never released or rolled…
6 Oct 2012, 18:34 pm
Well done ABs. Our problem isn’t in the forwards. It is in the backline.
Taute wasn’t for it. JdJ should have been there for many reasons.
We lost composure when Goosen got injured.
6 Oct 2012, 18:34 pm
Boks taught a lesson today.
6 Oct 2012, 18:34 pm
MF – I’ve taken 9 years of **** from these guys – and I’ve been respectfully polite through most of it. If I could throw a 20% hand grenade back – it still wouldn’t be even. You have no idea what we have put up with
6 Oct 2012, 18:35 pm
Read nearly recovered that!
6 Oct 2012, 18:35 pm
@ Spiesisworthless…..Any AB coach will succeed. They have such depth in talent. Robbie deans too would have won the WC with this squad. Agree with another blogger…bring in Mallett and get rid of Meyer. he is a good provincial coach but not good to take a step up.
Also, this defeat is costing me $20 and I will cop a lot from my Kiwi mates this week.. Bugger!!!!!
6 Oct 2012, 18:36 pm
Keo’s theme that SA have the skill level to match NZ — I simply disagree. Today showed that.
6 Oct 2012, 18:36 pm
@Chris4Lions-341: Jantjies isn’t running hard and distributing like Goosen did, putting backs and forwards in position to punch through. Big Hit is right (340).
6 Oct 2012, 18:36 pm
almost forgot we only have 14 players
