Springboks vs New Zealand

"But I'm also at the point where the outside noise doesn't matter to me," Mo'unga added. Foster and his players have been trying to shut out the noise of a disgruntled New Zealand public and a scathing media since a historic home series loss to Ireland last month. That combination produced South Africa's biggest win over New Zealand in nearly 100 years last weekend.

"It's something we expected from South Africa in terms of the high ball collision and contest," he said. It's all New Zealand at the moment. New Zealand kick for touch but cannot create anything from the resulting lineout. As the clock winds down South Africa have a penalty. Great play from the ABs Ioane and Jordan bounce down the right touchline in a great breakout for the visitors. The All Blacks needed to make a statement early on and for 35 minutes they did that here, deservedly taking a 15-0 lead, taking on the Boks pack and coming out on top. It's a penalty for the hosts and they can go in front for the first time this match. New Zealand had finally found their mojo, and after a tremendous break down the middle from Caleb Clarke, the ball was recycled for Will Jordan to put Sam Cane over at the corner. The Boks are putting the squeeze on here, it's hard to see how the All Blacks get back in this without a moment of magic. Pollard and Richie Mo’unga exchanged penalties, but the turning point came when Willemse’s try got ruled out after Jaden Hendrikse was adjudged to have blocked an All Blacks defender from tackling Am. Mo’unga nailed the penalty, but South Africa hit straight back. Prior to kick-off reports in New Zealand indicated Foster would get the boot even if he led his side to victory. Forwards coach John Plumtree and attack coach Brad Mooar paid the ultimate price for these failures, getting shown the door by Foster. And whatever new forwards guru Jason Ryan is doing in training is undoubtedly working because the All Blacks matched the world champions in every aspect be it the set-piece, the driving lineout, the kicking game, and most importantly the collisions.

Despite being a man down, the All Blacks produced a big finish as Havili and Scott Barrett scored tries to complete the win. The All Blacks kept possession from a Caleb Clarke break and Cane crossed in the corner, before Taukei’aho barged over from close range after incessant pressure. The All Blacks were better in the scrum, breakdown and under the high ball, all areas they had struggled in seven days ago in Mbombela. “Proud is an understatement,” Cane said. “The work [the assistant coach] Jason Ryan’s done there was strong, and I felt we were creating a few opportunities. The stress has been good for me, I think I lost one kilogram over the last week, so a couple more weeks I’ll be in good shape,” he said. The Springboks will travel to play Australia in a chastened mood.

On in 56th minute. Off in 60th minute. On for his debut in 55th minute. Couldn’t quite escape the grasp of Eben Etzebeth but was able to draw and pass from the next set of phases to create a try for captain Cane. Off in 69th minute. Couldn’t take hold of the first high ball of the game but was safe as houses for the remainder of the match. Contributed 15 points off the tee and his accurate goal-kicking (seven from eight attempts) was crucial to maintaining pressure. Found himself on the end of a nice attacking move from the All Blacks to touch down on the right-hand side for his team’s first try. Secure in the lineout and grabbed one steal. Off in 52nd minute. Was a big player in the maul defence and crashed into the breakdown with regularity. Won the first scrum penalty of the game and made some great hits on defence. Incurred one scrum penalty late in the first half, which Handre Pollard converted into three points, but otherwise held his own in what was easily the biggest match of his career to date.

The All Blacks staged a stunning comeback to beat the Boks in a pulsating Rugby Championship clash at Ellis Park in Johannesburg on Saturday night.

New Zealand claimed sweet revenge for last week's defeat to the Springboks by winning 35-23 in a pulsating Rugby Championship clash in Johannesburg.

That saw them move into a 15-0 lead thanks to tries from skipper Sam Cane and hooker Samasoni Taukei’aho, with the score for flanker Cane particularly well-worked. But South Africa hit back just before the interval. It looked as though they were heading for their fourth successive Test defeat when they went behind in the final quarter, having earlier led 15-0 and 21-13.

New Zealand ended a three-match losing streak with a 35-23 Rugby Championship second-round win over South Africa at Ellis Park in Johannesburg on Saturday.

Opting to kick for goal from the halfway line, his kick just made it and as the teams trooped off the field a 15-point New Zealand advantage had been cut to 15-10. Taukei’aho then used his strength to power over from close range and this time Mo’unga split the posts with his kick for a 15-point lead five minutes before half-time. His successful kick triggered a period of away dominance in which captain and flanker Sam Cane and hooker Samson Taukei’aho scored tries, the second of which Mo’unga converted.

'No idea': Foster hails All Blacks, slams 'vicious' media after sinking Springboks as CEO calls presser.

“We did well to come back, but then they controlled the game again until the end. Especially when we were gaining momentum, they were quicker than us to get there.” Generally they controlled the set-pieces and the kicking game. “I’m intensely proud of the performance. So they kept offloading, taking high-risk options, but we did not contain them. The victory still might not save his career, with New Zealand Rugby CEO Mark Robinson calling for an afternoon press conference.

There was a change in tactic from the home team though, who kicked fewer contestable kicks and moved the ball wide more often than they have all season. They silenced the 61000 crowd early and leave South Africa with a vital scalp that will do wonders for their development. But Mo’unga was excellent at flyhalf, pulling strings and often pinning the Boks back with accurate, raking kicks or finding a way around their rush defence. With Vermeulen not able to fulfil that role in the early skirmishes because he was a yard off the pace, the All Blacks gained confidence. The All Blacks might be going through a difficult time, but they have too many excellent rugby players to be taken lightly. By the time Marx entered the fray, the All Blacks held a 10-0 lead and had full momentum. It was a long way back from there for the world champions. It was the All Blacks’ first serious foray into Bok territory thanks to a masterful cross-field kick by flyhalf Richie Mo’unga, which found No 8 Ardie Savea. He scored the Boks first try after halftime, breaking out of Clarke’s tackle and brushing off two more. The Boks did not win a single breakdown turnover in the first half. The All Blacks now also have a better than even chance of winning the Rugby Championship. One thing is certain, the Boks are now under huge pressure for the away stretch of the Rugby Championship because their record in Australia is poor.

Following a 35-23 victory for New Zealand over South Africa in their Rugby Championship clash, here's our five takeaways from the match at Ellis Park.

However, on replay, most of his calls looked on point and it was the early inaccuracy of the Boks that really cost them. In a match with some controversial and complex refereeing decisions, it would be easy for South Africa to go full on Rassie and question some of Luke Pearce’s decisions. In adversity and having to rearrange their backline after Jesse Kriel went off, the passing and the ambition finally clicked. Sure, it’s a very simple game plan, but the key to Springbok tactics is the legality and accuracy that they deliver their plans with. They also performed a lot better in the aerial battle with Jordie Barrett and Will Jordan making some big catches under huge pressure to shore up the usually effective Springbok kick and chase game. Crucially, they edged the battle of the set-pieces and breakdown, a remarkable feat considering their deficiencies last weekend.

In total, the visitors ran in four tries two, a statistic that will worry the Springbok coaching team who put a lot of emphasis on their defensive structures, which were breached far too easily. Man of the match, Rieko Loane, was full of running all night and was key in attack. In total, the visitors ran in four tries to 2, a statistic that will worry the Springbok coaching team who put a lot of emphasis on their defensive structures, which were breached far too easily.

Just a week after the Boks recorded a stunning win over the All Blacks, the visitors bounced back in fine fashion beating South Africa 35-23.

Conceded a silly penalty in the 48th minute but overall it was a tremendous display by the replacement, who certainly has a case for the No.8 jersey. He had problems in defence and failed to make his usual strong carries. Was caught offside which resulted in the All Blacks’ first points of the match. And it was certainly a match to forget. The best of the struggling starting front row, however not the most memorable 50th test cap for the prop. Another masterclass by Am. Unfortunate not to score a try in the opening minutes of the match. He copped a yellow card in the opening minutes of the match. He looked out of pace and even missed a couple of tackles. He also contested the high ball very well and scored a try. He moved to No.12 following Jesse Kriel’s departure in the eighth minute and it was not a bad effort from the utility back. Nonetheless, he made two great carries before being replaced by Jasper Wiese in the 35th minute. However, labelled as Mr Cool by All Blacks legend Justin Marshall, Pollard bounced back and produced another cool and collected display in the second half and kicked very well.
