What a remarkable game of rugby union!

The All Blacks, as expected, showed great character in fighting back to take the lead near the end of the game. But credit to Jean de Villiers and his men who were equally impressive to stay calm and fight for the win at the end. The Boks played superb running rugby in the first half, they scrummed well and the tactical games of flyhalves Handre Pollard and Pat Lambie were highly impressive.

Well done to the All Blacks for still winning the Rugby Championship, but the Boks will take heart from winning against their old rivals for the first time since 2011. It was also coach Heyneke Meyer's first win in six outings against the Kiwis - which was immensely important with next year's Rugby World Cup in mind.

04 Oct 2014

04 Oct 2014

04 Oct 2014

72'- New Zealand's reserve scrumhalf Tawera Kerr-Barlow is in some trouble after injuring his knee when JP Pietersen charged down his attempted kick. He's going to try and run it off, but I have my doubts...

04 Oct 2014

04 Oct 2014

58'- NO TRY!

But the All Blacks will get an attacking scrum five metres out. The TMO ruled that the Boks had dotted it down dead under severe pressure.

04 Oct 2014

58'- TRY OR NO TRY?

Has the All Black defence pushed the Boks back and claimed possession to score on the ground. They think they have. The TMO must decide...

57'- BOK SUB: JP Pietersen is on for Cornal Hendricks
