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.
