Highlights: South Africa v New Zealand
- 1412
The All Blacks come away with a one point victory over the Springboks to round off a perfect 6 wins from 6 in this year's Rugby Championship. It was a tight affair from start to finish with neither side wanting to take a backwards step for its entirety. There was just one try in it at HT as Ryan Crotty's speculative try proved the difference between the sides.
The 2nd half was a lot more free flowing and both sides went over on a couple of occasions. Ioane and McKenzie went over for the champions while tries from Cronje, du Preez and Marx kept South Africa in it until the end. They were devastated to just miss out by one point but they really put in a brave performance today which will silence their critics, who pointed to NZ as a class above the South Africans
