The NZ midfield looks very porous Geoff .
A homer .
Beaudan is an average test level goal kicker. That was an awful miss on the conversion.
New Zealand 29 South Africa 36
Owens beyond a disgrace here . This is a new low .

There hasn’t been this defiant a South African resistance against the black tide since Eugene TerreBlanche.
Massive choke by Barrett.
Grant Nisbett just referenced it there in commentary. 2009.

Were the All Blacksorts too arrogant to go for a drop kick or did Barrett not trust himself?
Shades of New Zealand losing to France in 2007 World Cup Quarter Final in Cardiff. Nobody (a) to kick a match winning drop goal (b) nobody with the balls to even attempt a match winning drop goal.
A great vindication for those of us who warned to never underestimate the resilience of South African rugby.
