00:00:00is of the highest quality so let's have a look at those crumbs and how oxen company are getting
00:00:05it right to make life really really difficult carlo for the all blacks it's incredible the
00:00:10work on the tight dead side it's absolutely massive you got ethan the group is under huge
00:00:16pressure there from wilco low but what's incredibly impressive is the power and the
00:00:21second fire that's coming from the back fights all the locks all the loose boards are completely
00:00:27generating the energy through malcolm marx and a lot of the work is actually getting done on oxen care
00:00:31he's managing that space really well because wilco lowe's got that side of the scrum tight down and
00:00:37locked down on the other side you've got ox is managing that and then malcolm marx you know what
00:00:42a massive strategy is and it's just totally evaporating the all-blood scrum at the moment
00:00:46we certainly spoke about the breakdown paul de valez has made about 12 tickets in the first
00:00:50down but it is messy at the breakdown mods
00:00:55for the village we saw how busy he was at the breakdown but guys like malcolm marx are getting
00:01:01involved they're making it difficult for the all-blacks in terms of you know getting the advantage
00:01:06line and getting quick ball uh the spring ball glues forwards at the moment i mean you're just
00:01:10professor who's topping the charts and everything and paul the village has just literally gone to a
00:01:14whole nother dimension in terms of the work that he's got his rack selection is incredible he knows when
00:01:19to have a go when to leave it and his work off the ball to get himself into a carrying
00:01:23position
00:01:23it's just creating so much space and it's causing huge damage into this all-black defense at the moment
00:01:28it's going to come down to those little margins for south africa all the all-blacks i tell you what
00:01:33it's all to play for nothing to choose between these two great nations much thank you gentlemen i'm
00:01:39upstairs now with steven kitzoff who joins me and scala and uh what a first half it was between the
00:01:44two
00:01:44sides but again we're seeing south africa's old problem getting into the 22 finding rhythm
00:01:48but not walking away with points yeah it's great to see that the spring box are actually trying to
00:01:52get the ball into that red zone and create opportunities from them they've had scrum
00:01:56dominance they had the line out opportunities a couple of uh wind astray a couple of rips and
00:02:01and not finishing those moment those opportunities but it is something that's africa would have to look
00:02:05at in a half time and go listen guys we can't opportunities but we actually need to go and finish
00:02:09we
00:02:09need to get the ball over the trial line come away with points and then reset from there looking at
00:02:14those
00:02:14tries scala particularly the all black first one accumulation of penalties from south africa
00:02:19that discipline just letting them down early yeah pretty first start lucky beneath a couple of soft
00:02:24penalties to be honest you know experienced player another couple led to consistent 22 entries for the
00:02:30all blacks a theme that they've got is they they set it up quite close after the set play and
00:02:35dip down
00:02:35the blind by picking on grant williams uh to provide quite prominent the second try does exceptionally well to
00:02:41ride the tackle from grant get the little offload to murby who finish as well but this is a common
00:02:46theme with the attack is to hit quite tight in and around the pillar post maybe as wide as 10
00:02:52get
00:02:52sesha on the on the deck what that happens is we added this wrapped in jesse creel's playing on the
00:02:57wing
00:02:57not as accustomed to doing as as um could the orange would be that's the instance where currently got the
00:03:04haa head contact right there a little bit late on the fold and grant williams gets isolated with the
00:03:09face ball or the bridge ball which has been exceptional geordie barrett also starring in
00:03:14the second try yeah he certainly has and south africa did hit back onto sras and coming on for kirk
00:03:19and so has failed his hia so not going to be back on the field but what what a performance
00:03:24he's had so
00:03:25far since coming on yeah big impact um andre the giants you know he's been battling with concussion
00:03:30springbox on the other hand attacks a little bit different the scrum first it's more first it's
00:03:35tiring out the all-black force they've also got a bit of the trust even the brutes got joss lord's
00:03:40offer hia one-on-one with murby if there's a technical issue for murby is that he doesn't
00:03:46chase his feet so he gets a bit long in the tackle our loose forts have been accessible they've got
00:03:50a
00:03:50dominance over over the all-black forwards but as you play this on murby is calling for help he doesn't
00:03:57get it from joss lord and it doesn't chase his feet in the next tackle and andre giant gives him
00:04:03the iron
00:04:04hip the iron hip indeed and in the end a trifle south africa so there is a good it's coming
00:04:11together
00:04:11well but um it is these sort of things getting into the red zone and not being able to walk
00:04:15away with
00:04:15points and that's what they need to work on at the moment who would you call off the bench would
00:04:19you
00:04:19call the bench on early i would look at the bench quite early because it's also like it seems a
00:04:24little
00:04:25bit that the guys are struggling to find their feet there it looks like there's a bit of a two
00:04:28-week
00:04:29lag between uh what the new zealanders are doing when they're actually getting a bit of form
00:04:33and what the what the spring box are looking at so i would actually look at my bench quite early
00:04:37and and try and get a guy like zachary porthen who can inject pace into the game again uh we've
00:04:41got two loose heads that can can cover for ox and just bring a lot of energy but it's just
00:04:46from
00:04:47a stream of point of view they need to find their way back find their way into the 22 and
00:04:50take those
00:04:51opportunities what do you want to see more of in the second off yeah that's the skill execution for
00:04:55the spree box you look at the stats his dominance without any reward and that reward comes
00:05:00through the fact from being accurate in the 22. too many 22 entries too little reward for it
00:05:05positive for the boxers physically we're completely dominant aerial battle is dominated for
00:05:12especially by damien valimsa also cheslin colby and then the set piece battle is a one-way affair at the
00:05:18moment yeah certainly going to be a big one coming into the second half another thing that you can enjoy
00:05:22is of course clip drift they've been running the same same competition and they finally put a 23
00:05:29together now as you look over there can you spot who looks like a spring ball clip drift love their
00:05:36doubles they love uh you know when spring box come together and so does your double so hopefully we'll
00:05:42be able to see some of that 23 on the field we're looking at the real 23 now we want
00:05:46to see more of that
00:05:47action in the second half and hopefully see more of south africa taking on um the all blacks and
00:05:54coming away with tries from that red zone we're live here at ellis park second half coming up
00:06:16half time at ellis park in test one of a four test series making up the rugby's greatest rivalry
00:06:23series the spring box lead the all blacks by 13 points to 12 a breathless first half you wonder
00:06:30if this intensity can be maintained for the next 40. we might see some early changes off the bench we've
00:06:38already seen the departure of kirtley orenser who went for an hia which he failed replaced by andre
00:06:45esterhaisen and a nasty head clash between ethan de groot and josh lord so both of them leave the field
00:06:53for the all blacks replaced by george bauer and simon parker himself a late replacement for anton segner
00:07:00who was originally named on the bench as one of two loose forwards with peter lackey but parker who
00:07:07started both test matches against the springbox in new zealand last year added to the bench perfect
00:07:14and at the back end of that first half tailing boys on as a replacement for josh lord so two
00:07:22tries to
00:07:22one in favor of the all blacks one point in it there's so many games in recent history between these
00:07:31two
00:07:33teams so little to choose after the first 40. okay there'll be some concerns with new zealand's
00:07:39especially regarding the scrap springbox haven't had a scrum put in yet and it's that second wave of
00:07:44punishment coming from the spring box i think andrew mertens mentioned earlier on the week
00:07:49south africans grapple bolt on and bright lace and jasper visa was full of running you're ready and that's
00:07:55the standout ford at the moment i'm on 10k 64 meters and a lot of first contact meters too
00:08:02and ruben love has the second half underway
00:08:10user man you mentioned jasper visa
00:08:1510 carries for 64 meters in the first half a turnover won by him as well
00:08:22grant williams goes to the air and cheslin colby again gets up ahead of his man to tap it back
00:08:29for
00:08:29malcolm marx finder game gomezulu peter step to toy parked out in the midfield
00:08:38captain on the day leading his country for the sixth time this evening
00:08:44evan etzeveth the most capped springbox cap number 143 for him this evening
00:08:55good line out still towards the back end of that half now the hoist from williams chased by jesse creel
00:09:00comes off creel's hands knock on advantage ruben love away for damian mckenzie
00:09:10and jesse creel's foot in at the initial time did well to regain some momentum
00:09:18jacobsen out the back love and geordie barrett no seven good choice thank you
00:09:24the grubber with the grubber and gomezulu will give chase to his own enormous waste and will
00:09:32we gather looking to his outside full support the jackler balls and balls exposed play on well
00:09:39i'm amazed that that ruck had been formed
00:09:45i always thought once a rock always a rock you have to be tackled again i thought you can't just
00:09:51drop yourself down jordie barrett on that one probably should have turned the ball over black
00:09:55because that numbers down the right left hand right hand side
00:09:57let's go
00:10:04phenomenal once again from this order mark such a farmer gomezulu the box certainly dominating the air
00:10:10at the moment collecting his own kick and then he he had the time to have a look whether the
00:10:17cross
00:10:17kick was on but not on and the tackle was made it was quite a bizarre rack slash wall that
00:10:23was formed
00:10:23after that but what it does provide is two and a half minutes in we'll have our first scrum in
00:10:27the second
00:10:28half and you look at the features in new zealand now you think of peter lackey as a far more
00:10:34at least some big hitters up front and they'll bring weight and power oh get a scrum
00:10:43and roy guard trying to exploit a half gap around the fringe of that scrum couldn't to tire let it
00:10:49go let it go
00:10:53spring box called off the steel love geordie barrett has been keep playing no obstruction
00:11:00no effect so influential in this test match already no effect no effect a little bit of
00:11:04miscommunication there from the all blacks a collision between two of their own no left
00:11:11that no obstruction caused in the process good contest no lift though use it
00:11:24way on listed initially cheslin colby was able to regather willem sir
00:11:32and esther hasen strongly into the challenge from geordie barrett
00:11:41use it
00:11:44boxing chair and his captain in support to make the team
00:11:51and contest over 20. use it williams will go ariel again
00:12:04lost forwards since the referee but then played by roy guard in front of the knock
00:12:34and then into cam roy guard's hands which then is not a penalty
00:12:40but just the scrum for the knock on and the first beat to south africa boys from
00:12:44and yanni shimangi in your happy place tell us more about this
00:12:48see where the head spaces are supporters would have waited for this one
00:12:52and i can always guarantee you the message from jasper visa to grant williams is do not pull this ball
00:13:00the heat is coming certainly from the scrum and the first thing is to get that hit
00:13:04set and get that ascendancy it's gone from new zealand
00:13:09not anymore
00:13:11and the little ones are cursed
00:13:14they lost the power the second part of the scrum
00:13:16they lost the power and almost lost the connection
00:13:19also he released his behind the touch
00:13:22number 17 not straight okay matt we've got a substitution for south africa
00:13:28time off number one south africa off one replacement yep
00:13:34so oxen chair will make way now
00:13:38for head-ups to win his 20th test cap a massive ovation
00:13:44for the ox
00:13:45we always thought he would cannot come off reasonably early
00:13:51no it's not the same picture given that he's coming back from an injury sustained against england
00:13:56in the nation's championship and then ended up on the left
00:13:59set up around the mark that's been a good comeback from ox
00:14:02considering how long he's been out set up on the mark because i think nine meters made but the
00:14:06damage is in the scrums no you're going first for me that's his happy place
00:14:10and he got stuck in nice and early
00:14:14shimmy it's an interesting decision here from south african very much a change in approach obviously
00:14:18getting that penalty no where easily they could have gone for the line i've already given my
00:14:23put pressure again on the opposition with that game advantage but deciding to ride the goal
00:14:27picked up the ball he's all the penalty at gold try build some scoreboard pressure
00:14:32but 100 percent a change in approach from the box
00:14:36so if you're leaving then tell the rest to be quiet
00:14:41jason colby with three out of three so far from the kicking tee and he has some wonderful rhythm here
00:14:49this evening it's a third penalty from chest and colby and the lead is four
00:15:04probably decision made try get some daylight and then look to go for the corner because springbox
00:15:09could have done that in the first off also but got no return so just changing the strategy slightly
00:15:16carbon coffee restart from ruben love and yasko visa
00:15:22user going straight at simon parker
00:15:31and the charge down from fabian holland
00:15:40fabian holland in for a first test try
00:15:47that's the pressure you'll try that a hundred times you might just get one
00:15:50and this one for new zealand for fabian holland so important
00:15:5615 meter line you get this timing right there because if he has that is world-class pressure from
00:16:03him he could have even tackled grant williams if he wanted to
00:16:12play it in both the matches against the springbox in 2025
00:16:22both of those off the bench after making his debut against france last year
00:16:29move to new zealand at 17 years of age and has done some great things already in a black jersey
00:16:39third try for the all blacks third try scored for new zealand we see there the timing well
00:16:44it's a little bit debatable the timing there but that fabian holland throughout this game he has been
00:16:48putting pressure on grand williams at kick time
00:16:53and getting the charge down this time around and scoring the third chive for new zealand
00:17:00and with reuben labs conversion the lead is three
00:17:03and the belief will continue to grow for ardi savia and his all blacks no user
00:17:13whoo
00:17:14we guard deep onto feinberg and gormis william sir stepping his way through the track
00:17:26now find the good gormis okay
00:17:28you goes towards the ring where Damien Delendy and Jesse Creel are positioned. Delendy winning
00:17:38the aerial contest that time. First carry for Gerard Stiernikov. Let go, let go.
00:17:51Oh and then the burst through by Jasper Vissa. More metres made on the carry. Front football
00:17:57for Williams. Feinberg and Domazulu left it behind. No, no, no, no, no. Another 22 metre
00:18:05entry. Not an advantage still. Another mistake. Costing the spring box. We got under pressure
00:18:15but they'll come back for the original knock. Yeah, it was the timing that Paul needed to
00:18:19get to Sasha Feinberg and Domazulu's hands nice and early. So Grant Williams got it perfectly
00:18:25right. This is weekly. Just the timing though because he almost ran sideways because he
00:18:29was waiting for the ball. He was almost too tight. This was the good one here. Williams
00:18:34held it up beautifully. What a game he's having. What a game he has for Vista's having. Eight
00:18:40men's job to drive the toughness. There, Sasha just got the timing wrong slightly but the box
00:18:46try to stay on top of the game line. Watch that breach the line. Stay on top. Stay on top.
00:18:50All right, here's the mark. That will start to be a concern for the box though,
00:18:57Shammy. So many 22 metre entries and not being able to convert on that from an attacking point
00:19:03of view. No rhythm at this stage from South Africa and too many balls going to ground.
00:19:08That is an area where they will have to tighten up and start converting.
00:19:13Boom. Set. Stay on. Another massive, massive scramman. Grant Williams with a quick tap and
00:19:27go. He hasn't gone from the mark. Too many players on the ground. Not safe. That's carnage in.
00:19:33You've got to pick up that for the New Zealand. That scram set is way too long for New Zealand.
00:19:38What they're trying to do is to get that double shove and the spring box aren't falling for
00:19:41it. It's just the power being generated. That late shum. That second surge coming from South
00:19:46Africa and they want more. They smell blood here. They want more. Scram again. They want
00:19:53to put them in the herd clocker. Yeah, that ball's got to be out by now. It's too long. It's
00:20:00good. Look where Will Kalou is. He almost burst through the scrum.
00:20:04Shim, I also think the thinking behind taking the scrum as well is not only to hopefully put
00:20:09pressure again on that scrum, but also so many penalties at scrum time now already. So if
00:20:15you can again get them into conceding penalties, the yellow card will not be very far away.
00:20:21once again John the Fords do all the hard work
00:20:29well they do bring a penalty advantage and Feinberg and Gomezulu burst through
00:20:34the half gap never held in the tackle now short but held up
00:20:43was called short initially by Matthew Carley but then Feinberg and Gomezulu
00:20:48trying to roll over the line he was held up
00:20:55scrum we've seen this movie before in Dublin and they will stay there for the
00:21:00now they'll stay there for the next 10 minutes to Springboks if they can lost
00:21:05his fear under pressure and something's got to give the chances are could be a
00:21:09quite against New Zealand here we go repeated infringements
00:21:15the other thing to watch out for is if there is a penalty advantage loose
00:21:20forwards detaching and fanning out into the space
00:21:25they want to play if they can get the scrum advantage
00:21:30Crouch
00:21:33Bind
00:21:35Set
00:21:44Seven stay down thank you
00:21:46told to play it Andre Esterhaisen first receiver
00:21:50quick pick up from Grant Williams detoy
00:21:55more forwards coming around the corner a little juggle from Ruan Nokia but
00:21:59regathers well Williams goes to detoy
00:22:05and they come again
00:22:07Dirlendi short let go
00:22:09on penalty advantage
00:22:10advantage
00:22:18Williams
00:22:20forward pass 9 to 3
00:22:22forward pass
00:22:46from 9 to 3 you have penalty advantage for offside just get the mark
00:22:52yeah it's corners up front for New Zealand
00:22:54forward pass from 9 to 3 you have penalty advantage for offside just get the mark
00:22:54and you don't see New Zealand scrums get hurt like this
00:22:5610 offside
00:22:59the offside penalty is against Ruben Love and it is right
00:23:04in the shadow
00:23:08yeah
00:23:09of the all-black post right in the middle of the field
00:23:13you've caught a couple of things here
00:23:15one how many penalties can you concede before you start looking at a yellow card
00:23:19and secondly concerning from a south african point of view
00:23:22yes you can have dominance from a scrum point of view but it needs to convert
00:23:27into points on the board
00:23:28the box need points on the board with all this dominance that we have seen
00:23:32and this might just be the occasion for them to do that perfect attacking opportunity
00:23:37whether that is going for the scrum
00:23:40to go to get the penalty penalty try from the scrum or whether it is having an attacking play
00:23:45they will not get a better opportunity than what they have right now
00:23:54it's it's it's one of those things even for New Zealand you look ahead in the series
00:23:59stays in front you can't fix this in a week i guarantee you that
00:24:02and chances are though it's just worrying from a new zealand point of view they needed to be
00:24:07have no areas and try to avoid the scrum it's going to swap the boots it's not really a good
00:24:10solution
00:24:10but yeah personnel changes yeah i know if warden like a sapphire moore is a big hooker
00:24:16silly that you were sat on the floor they just need to survive the scrum but the opportunities
00:24:19out wide well and yes for visa what a game he's had look at his post contact meters doesn't go
00:24:26down
00:24:26easily he's got this ability comes alive every time he's got the ball runs to school the whole time
00:24:32and not once again good defensively jasper visa has been the pick of the forwards today just powerful
00:24:39the whole time with the little step again fast quick ball from him post contact meters for days
00:24:47from the hole this time what a game he's having
00:24:53from a new zealand point of view they still three points ahead and from a psychological point of
00:24:58view if they can keep the box out here it will be massive for them as a group they will
00:25:05be so
00:25:05determined to make every tackle see whether they can get parity good long at scrum time and then keep
00:25:10the box out of the goal line area in terms of their defense they've been so committed defensively can
00:25:18they keep them out one small and it's also it's a free player also post scram so first scram penalty
00:25:24but first things first the big men the front eight have to roll these thieves up
00:25:46well the call has come against the spring bucks first scram penalty of the game to the all blacks a
00:25:53wry smile on the face of the all black coach but crisis averted
00:25:59and it's cuts it's cuts from new zealand you know no one said it's never easy winning here
00:26:06but still a long way to go in this game but you need to show a lot of heart there
00:26:10new zealand again
00:26:12i just think the left-hand side the springbok scrum didn't go up together you've got to say in front
00:26:17of
00:26:22him okay
00:26:23i just didn't show the right picture to matt carly but still springbok scrums they'll still go for it
00:26:29and you're right john they didn't get the return they wanted new zealand survive again
00:26:35asapu omua replacement hooker good context good contest goes to tupul vai operating the second row having
00:26:43started in the back row still the same good momentum moving at the all black small
00:26:51malcolm marx has to go around and join once again from the back
00:27:12and then grant williams in some very tight space up the left flank it's a knee to the ground
00:27:24front big and gomazulu in to deputize at scrum half jordi barrett with the tackle on
00:27:31ferrat steen account use it
00:27:36nine quickly thank you ball is out
00:27:44colby gives chase jordan
00:27:48brilliantly away and damian mckenzie in a hole at the middle
00:27:53gets away from trying big of gomazulu the hand in there from bill i'm sorry but roy god
00:28:04against this resilient team hang on the ability to transition so quickly wall jordan
00:28:10he needed to live with someone mckenzie did a good job
00:28:15looking at this does he have it has he got it i guess we'd like to check the restart please
00:28:22believe the ball was knocked back by south africa and then grounded by south africa
00:28:28okay checking restart camera we got doesn't look at all as though he got a hand to the ball
00:28:40and the referee's call is that it was taken back into in goal off the hand of damian willimsa
00:28:48now there he taps it backwards backwards this one okay just keep rolling it through i believe the
00:28:54new zealand player misses the ball
00:28:59grounded by green here it's going to be new zealand scrum agreed so knocked back in goal by green
00:29:05grounded by green scrum fired new zealand i agree okay oh and you go back to this game john new
00:29:12zealand you look when the 22 meter taken back by greens will survive how important will that scrum be
00:29:18yeah but again for both these teams it's not about what happened in the past it's about what you do
00:29:25now
00:29:25how you react to these circumstances one more change for south africa covers reiner
00:29:31entering the fray he replaces brand williams at nine loads of experience there from a corpus reiner
00:29:38and can he provide the spark that they need to get ahead in this game 54th test cap for corpus
00:29:44reiner
00:29:46against the all-blacks and this scrum just hold for one second is cheslin staying
00:29:52no sorry a mirror image of what we saw the other end of the field
00:29:58very similar scrum position the opportunity to split the line
00:30:04yeah and this is where new zealand watch the quick hook and arty severe uses pace
00:30:09we saw this against i think was ireland so it's a quick quick hook there won't want
00:30:13log scrum here cheslin colby going off
00:30:19i think williams is going to wing but you've seen here they'll use the they'll try use the pace of
00:30:24body severe i guess to go down the right hand side to the blind side replacement on
00:30:29new zealand is going to have to be awake there time on
00:30:35so grant williams over on that left wing
00:30:41colby limping off it's going to be a feature of this four test series there are going to be casualties
00:30:48and depth across the two squads crouch he's surely going to prove vital big moment in the game
00:31:00there is the pickup from arty savia takes the tackle from feinberg and gomezulu roy guard
00:31:08and jacobsen has got the all-blacks fourth
00:31:15and now a commanding lead yeah
00:31:20and then it was the speed of that ball and the ability for luke jacobsen
00:31:26to come out the waikato workhorse
00:31:29luke jacobsen arty savia was always going to have a go here but it's the speed of this ball here
00:31:34and
00:31:35his timing also just slows the step feet down good into contact attacks the hip of the defender
00:31:40drop the shoulders good body workout the guy tries to attack the hip of peter's hefty toy runs in
00:31:45between the doors there in between the two defenders thank you mike the man from waikato does it
00:31:51and new zealand showing fight three south africa is going to come off after this too man
00:31:58the lead is already eight as reuben love
00:32:04lines up another conversion attempt
00:32:08and raises the flags the spring box up against it in the final quarter at ellis park
00:32:15you have to find a way once again
00:32:20jacobsen try number four for new zealand quite easy scrum time arty severe with a pretty decent
00:32:26carry there and then the quick ball as mentioned already nice body position and going over for their
00:32:31fourth demanding lead by new zealand
00:32:35and the restart from sasha feinberg and gomezulu
00:32:39immediately placed down option of a scrum in the middle thank you
00:32:47that's that's that's immediately placed down off a kickoff cool common collective he immediately
00:32:52placed the ball down from a kickoff it's up here he had to wait for that and that ball bounces
00:32:57the
00:32:57wrong way you in trouble momentum shift can they get momentum back they still got runway but they have to
00:33:07act quickly six yep 22 year old zachary

00:33:15and the 20 captain replacing wilco low
00:33:20and paul de villiers you are in leaves the scene replaced by marco von staden for a 37th test cap
00:33:27if the ball goes in oh no i was talking about a big five meter drive but maybe not four
00:33:34tries to one
00:33:38in favor of the all blacks in test one of this epic series taken their opportunities when they presented themselves
00:33:52very solid scrum foundation geordie barrett
00:33:58rare error at the back of williams
00:34:07substitution
00:34:10number 20 off 20 south africa
00:34:13well that could very easily have been a a penalty to south africa as well for for being offside there
00:34:19after will jordan knocked on that ball back here andre esterhausen he's coming off
00:34:23marnie libok on the field for the spring rocks a bit of a reshuffle
00:34:27to this background for south africa so marnie goes to 10.
00:34:31damien willemsa at 12. dialendi at 13 and sasha feinberger gomezulu at fullback five simon parker
00:34:39with the line out take
00:34:40step out step out
00:34:45hey just off top i've been trying to play up that short side
00:34:49gifting a line art back to south africa
00:34:59the response is urgent
00:35:08quickly out the back from front starting and visa taking on jordan play on knock on advantage just a
00:35:17knock on advantage right now perhaps thought about the offload in the box deputizing it's drum heart
00:35:23it's a bit
00:35:27never held as he was brought to ground so tumbling forward towards new zealand's line then malcolm marx
00:35:33here's reiner du toy brilliant double tackle from the all blacks
00:35:56More promise in the build-up ship, the handling error, bringing an end to a promising attack.
00:36:09On the cleaver just managed to disrupt it enough.
00:36:15Josh Morby off the field as well, scoring his first try for New Zealand against the South Africa and Leroy
00:36:21Carter was impressive last year when he did play against South Africa, getting that opportunity.
00:36:28There was his all-black debut after representing the sevens team at the Paris Olympics, Leroy Carter debut against South
00:36:37Africa in Wellington in the second of the two tests and got the first try of that game, which would
00:36:46be the all-blacks only try.
00:36:50A nervous crowd at Ellis Park.
00:36:52Yeah, very nervous.
00:36:54TMO check for foul play.
00:36:55There's something we're looking at here.
00:36:58TMO check for foul play for a tackle off the ball which led to the knock-on.
00:37:07It was Luke Jacobson, that's where the follow-through on the rack created the disruption.
00:37:16Yeah, I think it's two-fold, yeah.
00:37:18Which player are we looking at?
00:37:18We're looking at black seven on green eight.
00:37:20If the rack is formed then you can't come in from the side and the rack is not formed.
00:37:23Which causes the knock-on by Green.
00:37:26Then Jacobson cannot play Jasper Visser there off the ball.
00:37:29I'm not seeing that as a clean-out, I think eight is in the way.
00:37:36Okay, Mike, we're not seeing this as clear foul play.
00:37:38We're seeing that eight is actually in front of the ball and seven is just trying to get to 22
00:37:42to make the tackle.
00:37:43We're going to carry on with the knock-on.
00:37:46That's another halt.
00:38:03Time is on, let's go.
00:38:06Give him the slot, okay?
00:38:08Head in the hole.
00:38:10Head in the hole.
00:38:11In the space.
00:38:13Only remaining starting front row player on either side.
00:38:17Jan-Henrik Vessels remains on the bench.
00:38:20Crouch!
00:38:21Bauer, Newell and Almua.
00:38:23Bayern!
00:38:26Set!
00:38:27In the front row for the All Blacks.
00:38:32It's up.
00:38:33Use it.
00:38:34Went up on the mark of those teams.
00:38:37And the huge boots of Jordy Barrett brings relief.
00:38:41Play.
00:38:42Feinberg and Gomezulu.
00:38:44With the quick line-out take.
00:38:47Goes cross field towards...
00:38:51Inside.
00:38:52Touch in New Zealand's 22-metre area.
00:38:56Looking for the 50-22.
00:38:57Deep return from Ruben Love.
00:39:00And here's Marnie Livock now.
00:39:05Williams.
00:39:06Devastating acceleration.
00:39:08Peter Steff de Toij.
00:39:09Away to his left.
00:39:11Opted to hang on.
00:39:16Reinhardt doing well in the contest, but then...
00:39:22That's his final touches from the Springboks.
00:39:24His final touches.
00:39:26New Zealand is scrambling and the scrambling wall, especially the disruption at the breakdown.
00:39:32South Africa chasing and chasing hard.
00:39:37We know Will Jordan's capabilities as an attacking player this time around.
00:39:42Doing unbelievable work for the All Blacks at the breakdown.
00:39:45Firstly making the tackle and then basically getting two turnovers in a row for his team.
00:39:52Sub for South Africa.
00:39:54Great work by the winger.
00:39:55Number 17 off.
00:39:5717.
00:40:00Hang on time.
00:40:01And Jan-Henrik Vessels onto the field.
00:40:04Play number 16.
00:40:06He will slot into that loose head position.
00:40:11Where Gerard Steenekamp did his bit as well.
00:40:14Richie McCaw in attendance.
00:40:16Hasn't been back to South Africa since he played his last test match here in 2015 when he was on
00:40:21the winning side.
00:40:23Line up one against the throw.
00:40:25Derlinde.
00:40:30And lost forward by Feinberg and Gomez Zulu.
00:40:41I mentioned it earlier already, just from an attacking point of view, just no rhythm whatsoever from South Africa.
00:40:47And so many handling errors that we've seen.
00:40:51Very unlike the team, but just not being able to compound that pressure.
00:40:54A lot of pressure on the attacking point of view.
00:40:57Both went up on the market gate.
00:40:58Just fight to stay down.
00:40:58I know it's not easy.
00:40:59You get the feeling, JDB, that it's trying to get that good set.
00:41:04This is Dr Ali Baca, but trying to get that good set on defense or on attack.
00:41:08So the Springboks, it's a positive outcome from the line-out skill.
00:41:12But not backing it up with another positive outcome.
00:41:15And New Zealand, the scrum stabilized now.
00:41:17New Zealand got parity.
00:41:18They're trying to go for South Africa.
00:41:19The last one.
00:41:20So they're getting a good platform.
00:41:22They're getting a good base now to launch from at the scrums.
00:41:28Another solid platform.
00:41:31Beautiful ball from Ruben Love for Quinn Tupaya.
00:41:33With the rolling kick from inside his own half.
00:41:37That is just brilliant.
00:41:40Look at how that kick has further galvanized the All Blacks.
00:41:44Wonderful work from Quinn Tupaya.
00:41:4750-22.
00:41:48What a lovely exit play from New Zealand.
00:41:53And getting it into that second, third set of hands in that outside channel.
00:41:58Putting the grubber kick through and on the hard turf.
00:42:01It just keeps rolling and is eventually getting the 50-22 a feed for his own team.
00:42:10Aumua.
00:42:11And the ball lost.
00:42:13Lost backwards.
00:42:15By New Zealand.
00:42:21Zachary Porthin.
00:42:23New Zealand.
00:42:24The outing for him.
00:42:26Against New Zealand.
00:42:28Go back.
00:42:30Jan-Henrik Wessels.
00:42:34Has the ball.
00:42:35Sevier's got it.
00:42:36Yeah.
00:42:36Oh, it's been ripped away from Vessels.
00:42:39Nine.
00:42:40Another grabber through.
00:42:41This time from Jordy Barrett.
00:42:43Jesse Creel making the chase back.
00:42:48Five.
00:42:50Advance is not on.
00:42:53Well, New Zealand doing all the right things.
00:42:55How's that still from Arnie Sevier?
00:42:57But the kicking game now.
00:42:58The attacking kicking game.
00:42:59Second set of hands.
00:43:00Isolating the back.
00:43:02Putting little attacks through.
00:43:04We have a breakdown and then a player playing the nine.
00:43:08I don't believe it's a breakdown.
00:43:09It's a loose ball.
00:43:10Okay.
00:43:10Loose ball.
00:43:11Never a tackle.
00:43:11Players competing.
00:43:12Okay.
00:43:13Yeah.
00:43:15Yeah.
00:43:15And it's just a lovely game management from the all black.
00:43:17Shami.
00:43:18Hang on.
00:43:19One step at a time.
00:43:20Put it on the screen.
00:43:21The storm in the first half.
00:43:23And now they've come alive.
00:43:24New Zealand.
00:43:28We're looking at the actions of Black Eight.
00:43:31Before the turnover possibly.
00:43:48And Mike, are you telling me it's shoulder to head contact?
00:43:54It's eight on eight.
00:43:55Yeah.
00:43:56There's clear shoulder to head contact.
00:43:59It looks as though it starts on the chest though.
00:44:08Yeah.
00:44:09Yeah, Matt.
00:44:09I think that's a very fair assessment.
00:44:11It starts on the chest and I think if anything there then it's probably only a penalty.
00:44:17Okay, so I think it's on the shoulder and the head comes forward.
00:44:21So Mike, we're not seeing this as foul play.
00:44:23We believe that the contact is on the shoulder and the head rocks forward.
00:44:26The head rocks forward and there is contact with the head.
00:44:30So it's not the high tackle.
00:44:31It's the player in a whiplash motion that creates the contact for us.
00:44:36So no foul play?
00:44:37No foul play.
00:44:38That's the angle.
00:44:38No foul play.
00:44:39For us that is clear no foul play off that angle.
00:44:42Deco.
00:44:44Knock on here.
00:44:46Away.
00:44:48I think there's a clear tackle there.
00:44:50And then it's whether the players tied over and played the night.
00:44:53Okay, can you show us the breakdown on the goal line please, Mike?
00:45:01From the kick through.
00:45:04This would be cynical play.
00:45:10So Mike Adamson has brought something to the attention of the officials which they have not determined as foul play.
00:45:18Now they're looking at the actions of players at the breakdown.
00:45:22So if it loses then we have a competition for the ball.
00:45:24With players on their feet creating a ruck.
00:45:27Nine picks the ball up.
00:45:29And is then tackled.
00:45:30So 21 is going in the bin.
00:45:3421.
00:45:35Good core coming up.
00:45:36Massive core coming up.
00:45:3821.
00:45:41On the line.
00:45:44On the line.
00:45:45On the line.
00:45:46I'm quite clear.
00:45:48Yes, I am quite clear.
00:45:49It is not foul play.
00:45:50The contact is on the shoulder.
00:45:52The players head rocks forward which creates the head contact.
00:45:55Please on the line.
00:45:57So Markov and Stardin.
00:45:59Off.
00:46:02Until just seconds will remain in this test match.
00:46:07And now it's the All Blacks choosing the Strum.
00:46:11With the penalty having been awarded.
00:46:15And they were deadly off the previous one.
00:46:17They were able to convert that into the try.
00:46:20By Luke Jacobson.
00:46:21Yeah, you got to look at Artie Sevier here.
00:46:24Let's respect the occasion please.
00:46:25You got to look at Artie Sevier.
00:46:27Quick, quick hook and you'll go down the right hand side.
00:46:29So towards the falls.
00:46:30Time on.
00:46:32He's the go-to guy.
00:46:32Use his explosive power with forwards coming around the corner.
00:46:35Try beat the fold.
00:46:36Or you look to go wide.
00:46:37Let's go down now.
00:46:38Crab!
00:46:39Springbok feel they can do it with the man down.
00:46:41They haven't committed a back line player.
00:46:42Byne!
00:46:43Into that scrum.
00:46:43So New Zealand might try go for the push here.
00:46:45Set!
00:46:45They might try go for the big shove.
00:46:47Go Fleek!
00:46:48Go Fleek!
00:46:50Go Fleek!
00:46:50Go Fleek!
00:46:51Go Fleek!
00:46:52Go Fleek!
00:46:52Go Fleek!
00:46:53Go Fleek!
00:46:54Go Fleek!
00:47:06Go Fleek!
00:47:08Go Fleek!
00:47:08Offside!
00:47:09And deliberate.
00:47:11Yeah, and now it's carnage for South Africa.
00:47:1513 men on the field.
00:47:1610 minutes left in this game.
00:47:18We see Reinhardt going for it.
00:47:20Tapping it forward with three players on the outside of Artie Sevier.
00:47:24You called the scrum.
00:47:25Rossi Rasmus not happy.
00:47:2710 points behind.
00:47:28Only nine minutes left in this game.
00:47:30Doing it with only 13.
00:47:31Against a quality team like New Zealand is one uphill battle.
00:47:37I think someone has to go at two.
00:47:39Someone has to go at nine from the South African point of view.
00:47:42And what happens there is that there is space.
00:47:44So there's got to be out wide.
00:47:48Couch.
00:47:50Crouch.
00:47:53By.
00:47:55Set.
00:48:01Cam Roiggaard heading towards that big blindside.
00:48:06Did Marnie Libach get a hand on that ball? Maybe not. Away by Roygaard, McKenzie and Jordan
00:48:14looks for the inside ball.
00:48:20Jesse Creasel with a timely interception.
00:48:24He tried to back himself to go on the outside.
00:48:28No, he said just a knock-on in the tackle. It's his call. We've had two live calls.
00:48:33Please respect them both.
00:48:34On the line. You're lining. On the line. On the line.
00:48:49Disappointment all around Ellis Park.
00:48:58This has been an epic All Blacks performance.
00:49:01They weathered a substantial score in the first half.
00:49:04They went in one point behind, but having had their line only breached once, despite a number
00:49:14of opportunities in their 22-meter area.
00:49:17Now they've hit back in the second half.
00:49:20With two further tries of their own.
00:49:23Free kick advantage.
00:49:26Jacobson.
00:49:29No, no, let go!
00:49:31Mark's called off the steal.
00:49:33I think.
00:49:36And conceding another penalty.
00:49:38You can't lift the ball like that.
00:49:39Yeah, they want to stay down here.
00:49:43They'll call another scrum, surely.
00:49:46Yeah, from my point of view, even go for the three points.
00:49:50You get that difference.
00:49:51Okay, substitution for South Africa.
00:49:53Number four off.
00:49:53Time off.
00:49:54Two-thirteen and go closer to that 15-point mark with three scores to go.
00:50:02Kovac Visser joining his brother Jasper on the field, replacing Ibn Etzebed.
00:50:06But you are right, Matt, and Jimmy, the pressure that is there currently at scrum time, and
00:50:14being able to get to that 15-point threshold faster would be to stay in the scrum and have
00:50:22a proper attacking plan.
00:50:24Well, the last time the All Blacks were here was in 2024.
00:50:27The Springboks winning that one by just four points.
00:50:30But in 2022, the previous time, the All Blacks were here with Ian Foster's job on the line.
00:50:37He spoke openly about it.
00:50:42They won that test match and have won three of the last five.
00:50:46And they look on the way to another with a second try for Will Jordan, a fifth for the
00:50:53All Blacks.
00:50:56Their fans are on their feet, and so they should be.
00:51:00Yeah, and that should shut it down for New Zealand.
00:51:04How good was that pass from Sevilla?
00:51:06They knew with the space and opportunity everywhere.
00:51:09And New Zealanders partying.
00:51:10They are celebrating.
00:51:13Adi Sevilla, quick go.
00:51:16In the timing of that pass, Manila Bach trying to cut the wide options out.
00:51:20And all Jordan that you do was hold his line, stay home, and over he goes.
00:51:25New Zealand.
00:51:28We're running hot.
00:51:36A wonderfully assured performance from the 25-year-old Reuben Love, his first test match
00:51:44in South Africa.
00:51:45From the right-hand touchline.
00:51:47Has got another two.
00:51:52well John has been so impressive in this game to try score takes him to 53 tries for the
00:51:59all-blacks this time around a little stroll in scoring that try the fifth for New Zealand
00:52:05versus only the one scored for South Africa from this restart Malcolm mark securing a loose ball
00:52:13vessels backwards backwards then Williams Feinberg and Gomez Ulu and then Jasper Wieser running a
00:52:34promising line but Peter Lackey making the first up tackle over the top from Wilhelmser to Toy
00:52:46in Kourbisvisa new advantage two advantages
00:52:52South Africa with two penalty advantages to play with to Toy
00:52:58Williams and Kourbisvisa
00:53:00one here and
00:53:06here or over there
00:53:08well Rossi Erasmus said it in his pre-match interview the importance of this game in a full
00:53:15match series because if you lose this one you've got to win three consecutive weekends
00:53:21if you want to win the series outright the pressure is officially on the world champions
00:53:28right that's from New Zealand I must say the weather that storm under pressure in the 22 meter
00:53:33the air for long stages and when they've got a little opportunity a little window they managed to strike
00:53:39back and use the chances and the pressure was there but South Africa would look like to want to get
00:53:45something out of this but New Zealand that's absolute cuts to India at Ellis Park
00:54:08trying to get a little more accord
00:54:18for South Africa but he would have wanted nothing more than a win for the
00:54:23team and another mistake in the red side
00:54:26no no no no no no no no let go let go thank you
00:54:35holding on thank you with all the disappointment on the faces of the fans
00:54:41and certainly Ressi Rasmus as well unfortunately a continuation
00:54:47and the struggles on attack for the box not being able to get through the phases
00:54:52and eventually the handling error edge on the line guys gives the ball back
00:54:58to New Zealand
00:55:01it's Geordie Barrett's tackle that caused the knock-on
00:55:06six
00:55:08his 13th tackle of the game
00:55:39he's taken it in the pass
00:55:40we were there in Wellington last year one more line and we saw what the springbox did to New Zealand
00:55:44line out step off and get managed to come back and that's why this is the greatest rivalry
00:55:49it's the unknown in sports but this will go down in New Zealand history or New Zealand rugby is one
00:55:55of
00:55:55the big ones one of the big ones here it certainly will 13 to 12 South Africa led at the
00:56:01break they
00:56:01went into a 16-12 lead through a penalty by Cheslin Colby first points of the second half but since
00:56:10then
00:56:10it's been three converted tries from the All Blacks to go with two tries and a conversion in the first
00:56:18that has handed them this historic win
00:56:24and it'll be four wins in their last six visits
00:56:27as the All Blacks to Ellis Park another handling error gives possession back
00:56:32to the All Blacks who will play on Scrum Advantage
00:56:36siren in the background will they take the Scrum no says Matthew Carley it is full time
00:56:46and the celebrations for the All Blacks richly deserved look at what it means to Fabian Holland
00:56:52two tries for Will Jordan
00:56:56they will take enormous belief enormous confidence out of this victory wonderful performances from the
00:57:05captain Artie Xavier Cam Roy guard and Will Jordan none of whom had played a minute on this tour so
00:57:13far
00:57:13coming into the first test and they all performed admirably they had to make a late change to their
00:57:21bench with Anton Signa having to withdraw Simon Parker came in he was on the field at the back end
00:57:28of the first half it's five tries to one in favor of the All Blacks and in test match
00:57:35one of this series full time at Ellis Park it's the Springboks 16 the All Blacks 33
00:57:57so looking back at the highlights of this game this scoring opened by Will Jordan with a bullet of a
00:58:03pass from Cam Roy guard and it was Andre Esterhaisen an early replacement for Kirtley Orenser who would
00:58:10hit back for a try an early penalty from Cheslin Colby as well that gave a 10 points to five
00:58:16lead
00:58:17to the Springboks and then it was Josh Morby who got over for his first test try in just his
00:58:24third test
00:58:25match and then after a penalty from Colby early in the second half Fabian Holland getting a first
00:58:32test try as well charging down the kick of Grant Williams that was the first try of the second half
00:58:38then a pick at the back of a scrum from captain and number eight Artie Xavier Luke Jacobson over for
00:58:47his sixth
00:58:47threat test trying to first against the Springboks and then another pickup from Sabia this time going
00:58:56wide and high for Will Jordan the try scoring machine 53 tries in test rugby for him as well five
