Great match

What a game it was! The All Blacks were on their back foot most of the time, pinned down in their own territory by the spirited Springboks. They hardly mount any attacks as they were kept busy defending most of the time but somehow at half time, the score stood at six all. For all the territorial advantage enjoyed by the Boks, they were unable to translate that into a scoring lead. In the second half, the Boks finally scored a try, then scored a penalty and then another try. They were seventeen points ahead at that time. In my mind I thought that's the end for the All Blacks but how wrong I was. They fought back by scoring a try but until the last eight minutes, they were still twelve points down. Two tries in the last few minutes and a conversion with the last kick of the match did it for them. They won 32-30.
