MATCH REPORT: SA 13-NZ 23

21 Sep 2019

The loss is not the end of the world, of course. 

If the Boks beat Italy, Namibia and Canada - as expected - then they will qualify for the quarter-finals and meet one of Ireland or Scotland. 

There is still a long way to go ...

21 Sep 2019

Cheslin Kolbe was absolutely brilliant in a losing cause and was the obvious standout from a South African perspective. 

Half-backs Faf de Klerk and Handre Pollard, though, have had better days. 

21 Sep 2019

The Boks were better in the 2nd half, but they were still not consistently good enough on the day. 

Missed tackles hurt them, as did aimless kicking and an inability to win the ball in the air. 

21 Sep 2019

FULL-TIME! Mapimpi knocks on and that's that ...

SPRINGBOKS 13-23 ALL BLACKS

21 Sep 2019

80' Hooter has gone and Boks win the scrum penalty. 

They set up the lineout, and they will look to secure a losing bonus point now ...

21 Sep 2019

79' Springbok scrum deep in their own half. They're out of time now and will lose their first game of RWC 2019 ...

21 Sep 2019

78' ABs head into Bok 22, looking after possession well and winding down the clock ...

21 Sep 2019

76' Another UNREAL run from Kolbe! He is stopped short again, and the ABs make the turnover and kick ahead ...

The Boks then come back and Le Roux looks to have put Jantjies through, but Garces reckons that's a forward pass!  

The small moments like that just haven't gone the Boks' way today ...

21 Sep 2019

73' Boks now looking to attack, but Pollard knocks on and the ABs will eat up as much time as possible here. 

21 Sep 2019

72' Barrett nails the kick and that will hurt SA! 

SA 13-23 NZ

21 Sep 2019

72' Penalty to the All Blacks! 

That won't go down well with the Boks and referee Garces is booed by the SA fans. 

If Barrett kicks this, then that should the end of the contest. Garces reckons the Boks were offside. 

Kick is about 38m out and pretty much in front. 

Jantjies on for De Klerk. 

21 Sep 2019

70' A couple of kicks for either side ends with Pollard being knocked into touch. ABs have a linoyed in Bok half. 

RG Snyman on for Etzebeth ...

21 Sep 2019

68' Penalty All Blacks! That could be big because the Boks had just ventured into their 22. Du Toit isolated and the ABs make the turnover. 

21 Sep 2019

68' Mtawarira on for Kitshoff ...

21 Sep 2019

67' Ben Smith on for Mo'unga, so Barrett will finish the game at flyhalf ...

21 Sep 2019

66' Mo'unga makes no mistake. Was actually from a more difficult angle and range than I initially thought. 

SA 13-20 NZ

21 Sep 2019

Mo'unga will line up a shot at goal from straight in front. 

21 Sep 2019

65' That scrum took forever, and eventually the All Blacks dominate and win the penalty! 

21 Sep 2019

63' It's tense ... 

21 Sep 2019

61' Smith goes to the air again, but this time Reece knocks on. The Boks will have the put-in about 60m out. 

Mbonambi replaces Marx at hooker. 

21 Sep 2019

60' Boks up for this now ...

21 Sep 2019

58' DROP GOAL SPRINGBOKS! 

They had the scrum advantage and with nothing else on Pollard had a dip from 40m out and turned immediately! 

SA 13-17 NZ

21 Sep 2019

57' Penalty to the Boks! Mostert taken out in the air at the lineout. Pollard will take play back into the AB half ...

21 Sep 2019

56' De Klerk now gives away a penalty at the scrum, playing the ball before it had come out ...

21 Sep 2019

55' Kriel on for Am

Nyakane on for Malherbe

21 Sep 2019

A couple of big carries from Vermeulen there! Kolbe again showing great hands to keep it alive for the Boks. 

Eventually ends in a knock-on from the Boks. 


21 Sep 2019

53' Game opening up now. All Blacks make the turnover and counter. Barrett kicks ahead, De Allende recovers possession and the Boks are off again! 

21 Sep 2019

52' Boks on attack! 

Looked like there may have been a forward pass or two in there, but the Boks break and are now just 5m short!  

21 Sep 2019

51' Bok skipper Kolisi is replaced by Francois Louw ...

Sonny Bill Williams also on for Crotty.

21 Sep 2019

50' Reece knocks on and now the Boks have a scrum about 60m out. 

Has the momentum shifted?

21 Sep 2019

The Boks were on attack and Du Toit, with nothing else on, simply went straight through the middle of the formed ruck and the Boks are back in it! 

Pollard knocks over the extras. 

SA 10-17 NZ

21 Sep 2019

48' TRY SPRINGBOKS! Pieter-Steph du Toit!

21 Sep 2019

47' SUPERB FROM KOLBE! 

The Bok wing takes a high ball in his own half and then sets off on a ridiculous individual run! 

He looked set to score in the right corner in what would have been a magical try, but Mo'unga stops him just short and the ball is lost forward. 

Easily the most exciting moment from as Bok point of view ...

21 Sep 2019

45' Mo'unga tries another cross-kick, but this time the Boks secure the ball and Pollard finds a decent touch ...

21 Sep 2019

44' And after a few reset scrums, the All Blacks get the penalty through a Bok collapse. 

Not the start to the half the Boks needed. 

ABs set up an attacking lineout ...

21 Sep 2019

41' Almost immediately we have another De Klerk box kick that doesn't go very far at all and gives away possession. 

Beauden Barrett, meanwhile, takes a huge knock from Vermeulen that leaves him with a nosebleed. 

21 Sep 2019

41' Pollard gets the 2nd half underway ...

21 Sep 2019

The sides are coming back out for the 2nd half, and it's safe to say the Boks have a mountain to climb ... 

21 Sep 2019

HALF-TIME! SA 3-17 NZ

Pieter-Steph du Toit knocks on inside the NZ 22m area where he really should have held on. 

Boks started brightly, but the wheels came off with a double-strike from the All Blacks. 

Pollard's penalty miss at 3-0 hurt, but it can't be blamed. 

The Boks haven't kicked accurately enough and they have also been bossed in the air too many times. 

If they are going to get back into this game, they will have to make something happen soon.
