GARETH DUNCAN brought you live commentary from the Rugby Championship Test at Soccer City.
FULL TIME: SPRINGBOKS 16 ALL BLACKS 32

76 mins: All Blacks easing to victory. Forcing South Africa to play from their own territory. Poor kicks not aiding the hosts.

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.

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.

We didn’t make our opportunities (possession) count – after 30 mins I think we’d had an 80% territorial advantage and had 10 points. Not enough against a team like this. Depressing we still can’t make it count – we’re just too rushed, and not clinical enough.
6 Oct 2012, 18:37 pm
Nightmare game for Taute. His defensive alignment cost us 14 points. He came inside when he should have just kept it man on man!
6 Oct 2012, 18:37 pm
@KiaKahaNZ-345: Oh cry me a river.
@DAS-348: We aren’t selecting the right players in the backline and our defensive & attacking systems aren’t up to scratch.
6 Oct 2012, 18:37 pm
Taute had akak game today, lost ball in contact, one turnover and atleast 3 missed tackles/ Should have brought JDJ on at 60min
6 Oct 2012, 18:37 pm
@Transformation-342:
Correct he didnt, bad call.
Overall the ABs have played another good game. Hold on and then release in 2nd half.
We were told we had no show to beat the Boks but shows that beating a depleted Ozzie at home does not mean you have turned a corner.
But saying that the Bok have taken it too thre ABs in the forwards once again,not as they did in Dunedin but shows tghe world the Boks are a forward dominated team.

Shame Kia
No tears now please

@Chris4Lions-354: Taute should never have started. JdJ and JdV form their provincial combo and know each other inside out.
6 Oct 2012, 18:38 pm
The AB’s are undoubtedly still the finest team in the world. A masterclass in backline play, which has been enjoyable to watch, regardless of how it hurt our Boks.
The AB’s are also a very well coached team, forwards and backs – and one has to give them credit.
As for our Boks, I’m in no way surprised by this result, none of us should be. Told you folk that last weeks result was in no way a reflection of where we ACTUALLY are at this stage.
No excuses Bok fans – it is clear for all to see what areas we are struggling in, and will continue to struggle in, if urgent attention is not given. Let’s see what the messiah and his assistants do.
All is not lost.
Well done AB’s, deserved win.
6 Oct 2012, 18:39 pm
Janee too good – bok forwards didn’t pitch up in 2nd half – missing Bismarck bad
Boks stuffed, ABs too good – handling sublime.
6 Oct 2012, 18:39 pm
@Hurricane-355: No, it shows the ABs are in a class of their own. We have a lot of catching up to do.
You guys will get the world record of wins later this year and well deserved it is too.
6 Oct 2012, 18:39 pm
And your spectators were leaving. Seriously a bit of pride and perspective should be applied here. All Blacks!!!
6 Oct 2012, 18:39 pm
@W.P-352: agreed, he should have picked a 13 at 13, your boy Louw has gone well though, impressed
6 Oct 2012, 18:40 pm
JDJ on with 3 min left. Farking stupid coach!
6 Oct 2012, 18:40 pm
Haha, I like old Hansen .
6 Oct 2012, 18:40 pm
A stupid coach who can’t teach his players to pass in the tackle and reverts back to the old kick & chase. SARU always appoint coaches for political reasons, then the game changes and SARU are yet again 5 years behind, playing catch up rugby.
6 Oct 2012, 18:41 pm
Well played both teams. Match been very clean, played in positive fashion both sides tried 110%.
Boks won the forward exchanges, except when it comes to handling skills.
Ab backs comprehensively outplayed their opposites.
Boks would have been more in this game had they kicked their penalties, those early misses just kept the abs in the match when they should have been out of it at half time.
6 Oct 2012, 18:41 pm
Bok midfield got zero penetration – de Jong is way overdue
6 Oct 2012, 18:41 pm
Min 76
There is nothing more rewarding to watch a Boks team with Jantjies, The Beast, Habana and JdJ all on the field defeated by the ABs at Soweto!
Priceless
6 Oct 2012, 18:41 pm
Jared they are cheesed off
Why should they stick around
Another gloater who pitches up after the game is in the bag
6 Oct 2012, 18:41 pm
Very few Boks had a good game today.
6 Oct 2012, 18:41 pm
Jantjies passed the ball standing still
Goosen would have created momentum.
I fear that the improved Bok performance last week was down to Goosen’s influence and not a reflection of the backline, attach and defensive coaches grasping international rugby.
6 Oct 2012, 18:41 pm
Would be one word appropriate here after all pre-game chest beating?
BOOOOOOOOM!
6 Oct 2012, 18:41 pm
I feel immensely sorry for the political **** SA rugby has gone through – I do -but their supporters need to stop feeling so unjustifiably superior when the obvious kicks back.
You could be better, your team could be better, but for the while, you’re not, and that’s a shame
It really is
6 Oct 2012, 18:42 pm
@Hondo-368: Go back to Oranje ye ******.
6 Oct 2012, 18:42 pm
This is from my post #44
” The SKILLS set lies with the All Blacks and if they play it wide, when the game suits, and often they will surely make it 6 for 6 in the RC and overall 16 for 16.
Get the ball thus to Dagg, Gear, Jane, Smith X 2 and Nonu and victory is certain. Carter will obviously be crucial to all of the AB plays, needs and desires and he will enjoy silencing the rowdy crowd.”
The correctness and accuracy is stunning to say the least. That is called application of the knowledge base.
‘O rugby boertjie jys nog steeds in jou moertjie
En jy is nie meer ‘n wonderlike ding
Jul is nie meer ‘n krag en jul rugby is te sag
Want te veel van julle is van ‘n Boermag

@KiaKahaNZ-373: Yes it is a shame.
Well done ABs. It was a privilege watching you.
6 Oct 2012, 18:43 pm
Boks are a class below the AB’s – there’s so much work to be done and I just don’t think we have the skill levels in our schools. Sad – I really thought we were good enough to compete, but we’re clearly not up to it. Our backline was boring and impotent throughout, and our forwards seemed to lose interest and fire in the second half.
6 Oct 2012, 18:43 pm
100 test victories to McCaw.That is amazing.
6 Oct 2012, 18:43 pm
STFU Hondo you complete and total racist
Get out of SA
6 Oct 2012, 18:43 pm
Well done NZ, superb performance.
6 Oct 2012, 18:43 pm
A hammering at home – not impressive
an inauspicious start for heyneken it must be said
what were they all saying 80% haha ha don’t make me laugh
6 Oct 2012, 18:44 pm
20-0 in the 2nd half. Lots of work lies ahead, Heineken !
6 Oct 2012, 18:45 pm
Oh well
No fend
6 Oct 2012, 18:45 pm
SOWETO truly belong to All BLACKS
Pinkiepigs are the foreign invaders through all our history.
6 Oct 2012, 18:45 pm
great game. The only real loser here is the forever bleating i_love_u_bakkiesbotha
6 Oct 2012, 18:45 pm
Well played, New Zealand.
So much more incisive and fluent in the backs.
Bok forwards did well in the first 30 minutes.
Taute was very poor.
6 Oct 2012, 18:46 pm
lambie last 15 min, jdj last 4min, lmfu, typical, these boks with their coach and game plan, lmk. Embarresin actually, oh and 12 runs straight or towards his flyhalf nit like a crab! Damn!
6 Oct 2012, 18:46 pm
Ja Cab, it’s a hammering of note.
Well done to the AB’s- they are in a different league than the rest of the rugby world, not even a comparison.
6 Oct 2012, 18:47 pm
@Nils-372:
There was alot of chest beating. Some even were claiming a 15-20 point win to the Boks.
Booommm is appropiate.
To the other Bok fans who have a bit more respect to the opposition, tough luck people, this AB team is still a very good team. Boks forwards once again looked the part. Backs need to be worked on once again.
6 Oct 2012, 18:47 pm
Boks have no backs, a very pour display by them.
AllBlacks all class. I predicted a 15 point margin and i was right on the mark
6 Oct 2012, 18:47 pm
And I guess that is where it stands my South African friends. Remember the All Blacks are not the Wallabies and that we are number 1 for a reason. Enjoy your weekend gents
6 Oct 2012, 18:47 pm
Well Done THE DARKNESS.great team.best in the world by far.
6 Oct 2012, 18:47 pm
See you all here for Argentina tomorrow
6 Oct 2012, 18:47 pm
@Mostofyou-384:
The game was not played in Soweto.
6 Oct 2012, 18:48 pm
ANOTHER TOP NOTCH DISPLAY OF FILTH
FROM THE FIRST MINUTE TO THE LAST
6 Oct 2012, 18:48 pm
@Black Power-390: Yes,I will be pouring.
6 Oct 2012, 18:48 pm
Lessons that may not be learned:
1. No room for passengers in test rugby
2. Can’t have your captain playing in the back line
3. The Beast is a hard worker!
6 Oct 2012, 18:49 pm
Well played All Blacks – the best team on the planet by far. They will remain unbeaten until next years RC.
Heineken you are walking on thin ice mister, thin ice – your win ratio is unacceptable! Now you will get a spanking of note.
6 Oct 2012, 18:49 pm
Not Pienaar or Hougaard has that x-factor Fourie du Preez had.
6 Oct 2012, 18:49 pm
@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-395:
haha you are such a loser
