Yeah they could pay for this yet. Ref has warned them about 3 penalties in the last play. Take scrum or line out and make them commit penalties and earn yellow cards.
NZ look toothless
New Zealand havenât scored in almost 80 minutes of rugby.
New Zealand try from nowhere from turnover completely against run of play.
I was in the middle of writing this âŚ
âAbsolutely - havenât seen an AB team look this average in a long timeâ
Then boom.
Toothless until they do that. Just clinical off turnovers. Sick one for SA

Quite remarkable how SA are actually losing this. They had their chance to maybe put a 20 point gap between themselves and NZ and put their foot on their throats but they have been total fannies.

New Zealand statiscally are most dangerous off turnover ball before the defense resets.
Will be interesting to see how both teams react to this. SA should get back to what they were doing but you wonder whether thatâll take the wind out of their sails
Need to score tries to beat AB. Need to be fsr more ruthless off pens
Id say will follow similar pattern
That was brutal from SA - drove AB back 40 m through great defence
Not offering much in attack themselves. Both defences well on top. All blacks starting to find few gaps though, SA cant kick to Beauden B
Retallick coming up holding his arm after taking a wallop. Could have RWC implications
Last minute South Africa try which Pollard converts for a 16-16 draw. Probably a fair result. New Zealand were on top for most of 2nd half. Nicely set up for World Cup pool meeting.
Disgraceful lack of respect for the kicker from the New Zealand crowd.
Was a poor 2nd half. Fair result. Both still in warm up mode youâd think. Retallick injury could be huge . He got a right smack
Lovely tribute here in Brisbane from the ARU to the Aborigines.
Wtf?
Lang park is half full for an international. If rugby is dead in qld itâs dead in oz
Downgraded to a 1/4 full
