Koch loses the ball forward a couple metres from the tryline. Very frustrating for the home side who have been unable to convert a huge amount of pressure.

Pat Cruising Jul 7

abs pretty poor, still good enough to only be down by 3.

Ultimate Rugby Jul 7

South Africa opt to scrum once again.

David Scott Jul 7

good shift from jager

Brussow is held up over the tryline, however the ref brings them back for a penalty after Franks collapses the scrum.

overdue. too many fouls in the red zone

Ultimate Rugby Jul 7

South Africa opt not to take the easy points, but instead opt to scrum against a 7 man scrum. The Boks have a 5m midfield scrum.

OldProp Jul 7

Referee having a good game. Letting it flow in the face of a lot of offside from AB's

David Scott Jul 7

card overdue all blacks too often fouling in the red

Ultimate Rugby Jul 7

Le Roux slices the defence from within his own 22m area after being under immense pressure. He offloads to Pienaar who puts a kick up field. South Africa manage to regather the ball and recycle it before continuing the attack metres from the All Black tryline. Whitelock is yellow carded after not rolling away cynically as the All Blacks were under pressure 5m from their own tryline.
