Hard to see New Zealand winning with mckenzie at ten
The match gets underway after the traditional ceremonial flying of an Airbus A380 over Ellis Park.
I’m surprised this tradition continued after September 11th, 2001 to be honest.
Blackadder goes forth when he should have passed. New Zealand force a penalty and yellow card however. And now a try for Codie Taylor.
No respect for the kicker here
The atmosphere is sensational
Andrew Brace has made some strange decisions here.
Penalty kicking on the high veldt is hilarious.

Lovely intercept by the Leinsterman
The Boks are back in hibernation until 2027 and fair play to them
Great game here. Kiwis completely shut down after Clark’s try and the Boks deservedly ahead with 5 to go
Super game.
They was an epic test match. I was 15-20 minutes behind watching it.
Wallabies pipped the argies with a kick at full time. Had pumas down to win that one

Schmidt looking like he is starting to make a difference. Australia looking great at the breakdown going both ways. Still a talent void but he is getting Jorgenson involved now and with have Joseph Sua’ali’i next year.
Sounds like a couple of crackers as the Queensland Hospital Cup and Sydney Shute Shield played their finals this weekend.
Rabbit O’Connor wins it for Brothers at the death 29-27
Easts win their first title in 55 years edging it , 36-35. Seems like a fairytale run for them as they edged the semi final at the death.

Australian rugby really missing a trick by not getting them to face off.
I played for Brothers many moons ago. Were a very successful club in the 80s, relied a lot on nudgee and terrace kids
