00:15:49at the square led by their captain today Cody Taylor and we are set to go
00:15:57the 114th meeting between rugby's two great rivals
00:16:09the All Blacks winning the series opener at Alice Park the Springboks responding
00:16:17emphatically in Cape Town and Soweto and all on the line today will the Springboks
00:16:25leave with a series win or will the All Blacks salvage a two all draw in Baltimore
00:16:35there's been the threat of rain throughout the afternoon still very warm conditions
00:16:44here in Baltimore Maryland
00:16:56what a magnificent sight that is what a crowd
00:17:00they certainly know how to do sport here in the United States a wonderful atmosphere
00:17:06around this stadium and the lead up to this game referee for this one is Carl
00:17:12Dixon of England Matthew Carley Christophe Ridley his assistants Andrew Jackson the TMO
00:17:20and Matteo Ippureni of Italy is the foul play review
00:17:26a return for Richie Maunga to the All Blacks at test level against the opposition they played in the World
00:17:36Cup Final
00:17:49it's the series decider of rugby's greatest rivalry in the United States as Richie Maunga gets the fourth test underway
00:17:57and down inside the 22 for South Africa taken by Peter Steff-Dutoye
00:18:04and a man getting a start this afternoon and shit
00:18:08Mone Fundenberg gets the ball back from the pass now Feinberg and Gomazulu off it goes for Jasper Vesa way
00:18:15to the wing of Ethan Hooker
00:18:16he was so good in Soweto Fundenberg again for Oxenchair and the All Blacks have been caught offside so an
00:18:23early penalty advantage here as Feinberg and Gomazulu kicks across to the right wing side
00:18:28Kirtley Aronset and Richie Maunga is tearing off down the sideline but his whistle's gone Carl Dixon
00:18:34yeah they got Patrick Tuipalotu offside bit of niggle early on you'd expect it I tell you there's some tension
00:18:41here
00:18:42so much to play for and you know Ethan Blackadder well he won't take a backward step but neither will
00:18:47Sasha Feinberg and Gomazulu
00:18:49really hot start though from the spring box they look set to kick had a little second man play found
00:18:54some space for Ethan Hooker
00:18:55so a real intent early Goldie for them to move the ball which probably took the All Blacks by surprise
00:19:02yeah absolutely it was well executed wasn't it they loaded up on that outside channel and
00:19:05the All Blacks ping for not being back onside might have been Patrick Tuipalotu there
00:19:10just that half metre and that all-important first penalty
00:19:14as we see I'm just looking for that cross kick that would have gone to hand but
00:19:19endeavour from the spring box in the first minute of this test match
00:19:22and there's no doubt you'd have to think over the last couple of weeks they've really grown in confidence
00:19:27and belief and the willingness to play just to hold up here as they're getting a ball onto the field
00:19:32but you'd have to say the first win in this test match goes to the spring box
00:19:41I find Bergen got Gomazulu getting his kick and 12 metres inside the All Blacks half
00:19:48first test match here at this stadium and a good start for South Africa right where they want to be
00:20:00first line-out of the game Malcolm Marks sends in for a Nokia set Coliseal part of work to
00:20:05Vandenberg now Damien De Lendic front on his squirrel Jordan trying to bring him down
00:20:11and it's been turned over has Ethan Blackout has hands on it away it comes for the spring ball
00:20:17hooker and Marks centre of the park just inside of the All Blacks half away they go again making
00:20:24the tackle is Anton Leonard Brown Hunnenberg looks away again finds Marks no look pass away to
00:20:30his team from doing Gomazulu taking in the tackle of football by another penalty advantage here the
00:20:36spring box it does roll inside the 22 but it'll come back this time it's a high tackle well again
00:20:45the ball play from the spring box is very good here's Feinberg and Gomazulu it's just that he might
00:20:50have seat belt tackle really he reckons there was enough contact with the head from Tupuva he probably
00:20:58was more around that higher shoulder neck area but you go there at your peril and it's been judged
00:21:03to be high and the spring box not going to look to take an early opportunity to kick three well
00:21:08we'll
00:21:08ask for for the rest of this test match now is consistency around that type of tackle there's no
00:21:13doubt the player was ducking down Tupuva he just had that arm over that shoulder and the spring box
00:21:20they will look to strike first in this test match but certainly trying to play with a little bit of
00:21:25width creativity letting the ball go giving a little bit of air so he catches a knee from South Africa
00:21:35but it's entirely accidental no foul play
00:21:37thanks
00:21:38thanks
00:21:45thanks
00:21:46thanks
00:21:46and he knocks over the first of the day for South Africa here in Baltimore
00:21:54now you just saw there Cody Taylor copped an accidental knee at one of the breakdowns so
00:21:59had some claret spilling just needed to stop the flow of that and he's got the the head bandage
00:22:05up now but the perfect start for the spring box the All Blacks seem to put some pressure on from
00:22:08here
00:22:10Richie Maunga with the restart for the All Blacks trying to pressure Damien Billups a big
00:22:14tackle coming in a man who's been superb defensively Jordy Barrett
00:22:20with the same preparing John
00:22:21still got Ginger getting back on his feet
00:22:23even store
00:22:24I mean Vaidelberg the wonderful performance he had off the bench in selleto in the 3rd sûre get
00:22:31his kick down field
00:22:32and so a chance
00:22:34And for the All Blacks, now just to build a bit of pressure inside the Springboks half.
00:22:44112th test match for Cody Taylor, a short one for the All Blacks to start.
00:22:50Line-out success has been pretty good on the tour, 84%, and it's a nice start as well.
00:22:55But Thupulwai, they hit them all rolling.
00:22:58The All Blacks under the arm of the captain.
00:23:01Cody, break away! Break away!
00:23:02You change your mind!
00:23:04Away goes Cody Taylor, tries to send it out into the back line.
00:23:08Does find Jordi Barrett, play on is the call.
00:23:10Pulled across.
00:23:12Slow for Cam Roygaard.
00:23:14And away it goes for Ethan De Groot.
00:23:16Taking the tackle of Mundenberg.
00:23:18Ox and Chair will try and get over for a Jackal.
00:23:20There again though for the All Blacks, and Peter Lucki playing in the number eight jersey.
00:23:27This afternoon, Ethan Black at it.
00:23:29There's a wee probe down the short side for the All Blacks.
00:23:32Quick hands.
00:23:33Here it is for Josh Morby.
00:23:35Back in the starting 15.
00:23:37Again, it's slow ball for Cam Roygaard.
00:23:39Kyle Dixon taking a close look.
00:23:41And this time, this time it's a penalty for the All Blacks.
00:23:44Wasting no time.
00:23:44The half-back goes in behind.
00:23:47Peter Lucki does well to bring it back.
00:23:49Under control as Sam Darry lays it down.
00:23:53Center of the 22 for Fletcher Newell.
00:23:56Looking away again at Roygaard.
00:23:58Now it's Jordi Barrett taking in the tackle of Deerlinda.
00:24:01Creel tries to get over the ball for South Africa.
00:24:08He's got Morby cutting a track back in field.
00:24:11Josh Morby just shy of the goal line.
00:24:13Five out for the All Blacks.
00:24:15As they reload again.
00:24:17Shooting up quickly.
00:24:18One on three.
00:24:19Helkson cheer on Newell.
00:24:20And Dumbo to come through over this.
00:24:22South Africa.
00:24:23Excellent work defensively.
00:24:25And Rod Nokia has secured possession.
00:24:31Back it comes.
00:24:33Brought Damien Willemsit.
00:24:35It's off the side.
00:24:37And we'll go pretty much to where the All Blacks started from.
00:24:40Just outside the 22.
00:24:41But excellent defence.
00:24:42Nice and slick from the All Blacks.
00:24:43The interchange of passing.
00:24:44Perfect.
00:24:45Look at the injection of McKenzie.
00:24:47Nice and deep.
00:24:47Brought that last defender in.
00:24:49The shift on.
00:24:50Morby always dangerous.
00:24:53And Springbok scrambled really well.
00:24:54Then eventually got the turnover when Newell got isolated here.
00:24:57He's there by himself.
00:24:58He's the only one there.
00:24:59Sub-complete.
00:25:00Evonetsa Beth is over the ball.
00:25:02But the handling.
00:25:03And the tempo the All Blacks are looking to inject in the game was very, very good.
00:25:06Early change.
00:25:07HIA.
00:25:08Test coming.
00:25:09For Peter Lacai.
00:25:09Wallace Soteti on.
00:25:11Over 15.
00:25:13Back it comes again.
00:25:15Good for Vaes.
00:25:15The one who wins it for the All Blacks.
00:25:18One sideways.
00:25:19So they nailed their first couple of line outs.
00:25:22It's rolling across field.
00:25:23This one.
00:25:24Kevin Roygaard will be happy.
00:25:25To watch it creep forward.
00:25:30Still going forward for the All Blacks.
00:25:32Now Roygaard.
00:25:33Thought about going left.
00:25:34Goes away.
00:25:34To the right.
00:25:35Here it is for McKenzie.
00:25:37Running onto it.
00:25:38Over the ball.
00:25:39Jesse Creel.
00:25:40Had a crack at it.
00:25:41Ethan Blackout.
00:25:42It puts his hand up.
00:25:43The inside ball for Wallace Soteti.
00:25:45He's just been injected.
00:25:47Peter Lacai is getting the HIA check.
00:25:50Moonga.
00:25:51Nice handling again from the All Blacks.
00:25:53This is sensational stuff.
00:25:55McKenzie.
00:25:57Taken care of.
00:25:58Just shy of the corner.
00:26:00Damien McKenzie.
00:26:01But it's the All Blacks on the front foot.
00:26:03Taylor.
00:26:05The captain's over for the All Blacks.
00:26:07Oh I want to try the All Blacks.
00:26:09The intent to move that ball.
00:26:11The slickness.
00:26:12The accuracy.
00:26:13The passing.
00:26:13And the timing.
00:26:14Of the players to punch onto it.
00:26:16The Springboks were left short.
00:26:17And the All Blacks maximised that opportunity.
00:26:20Lovely breakout.
00:26:22Check out the slick handling here.
00:26:23Nice from Tupiloto.
00:26:24Jordy Barrett.
00:26:25Bang bang.
00:26:25Morby.
00:26:26Then an injection of Jordan.
00:26:28McKenzie does brilliantly to stay in play here.
00:26:30He's got Springboks all over him.
00:26:32But strong enough to keep the ball in play.
00:26:34And then Cam Roygaard.
00:26:35The skip pass.
00:26:36Finds the skipper.
00:26:37Yes All Blacks.
00:26:38Big start.
00:26:39Yeah great work.
00:26:39Ball in hand.
00:26:40Finding space.
00:26:41And then the support play.
00:26:42The clean out.
00:26:43And then a beautiful line from that man Taylor.
00:26:45To score.
00:26:46And the All Blacks.
00:26:48That accuracy.
00:26:49That they've been wanting to build on.
00:26:52They've done it beautifully there.
00:26:54And they have struck.
00:26:56First try in the Test match.
00:26:57Damien McKenzie attempts to convert.
00:27:07And he's got it too.
00:27:08Damien McKenzie.
00:27:11And he's now just five points away from 400 and Test Rugby.
00:27:15Converts the try to his captain.
00:27:17And it's the All Blacks who take the lead after nine.
00:27:19Now here's the finish.
00:27:20Once Roygaard gets it up nicely.
00:27:22Just floats it across.
00:27:23In front of the defenders.
00:27:25They're not able to get there.
00:27:27Beautiful finish.
00:27:28Well done.
00:27:28The All Blacks skipper.
00:27:37Gary Taylor on his 24th try in Test Rugby.
00:27:40The most by a hooker in the black jersey.
00:27:42Moving past Dane Coles.
00:27:45As Jordy Barrett plays it away to Wallace.
00:27:47Satiti just bobbled.
00:27:49By Ethan Black at it.
00:27:52Returning to Test Rugby for the first time in two years.
00:27:56Quick hands by Richie Maunga.
00:27:57Away for Barrett.
00:27:58Now Will Jordan.
00:27:59He's got Ethan Hooker closing down his angle.
00:28:02That's still a prodigious boat downfield.
00:28:04He's inside.
00:28:05Trying to claim the mark here.
00:28:06Inside.
00:28:06As Dane envelops it.
00:28:09I haven't got anything clear.
00:28:11Gets his kick away.
00:28:13As it stands anyway.
00:28:15Down towards the halfway line.
00:28:16Well they're in a mood the All Blacks.
00:28:18Shifting it out of their own 22.
00:28:19Beautiful pass from Richie Maunga.
00:28:21They're set to play.
00:28:22And play at tempo.
00:28:31And Taylor again send it in.
00:28:33But Evan Etzebeth got up to disrupt for the Springbok.
00:28:36So there's one against the throw.
00:28:39And he's set.
00:28:39I mean Dane Linde just losing the ball.
00:28:43Uncharacteristically.
00:28:44And he's had a very good series.
00:28:46Brought up to Tann in the green jersey.
00:28:48In this greatest rivalry series.
00:28:51And that's the zone you've got to be careful of.
00:28:53He's coming.
00:28:54If you slightly under throw it.
00:28:55Etzebeth he'll go up all day.
00:28:57And he's had a couple of digs already.
00:28:58He won that one.
00:29:00Turned it over with the Springboks.
00:29:01Unfortunately.
00:29:02Tannes off.
00:29:02Though De Linde couldn't hold it.
00:29:04And the All Blacks are let off the hook.
00:29:06They don't want to be conceding turnovers off line out.
00:29:09Yeah just up in the air a little bit too long.
00:29:11And Etzebeth is so good.
00:29:13Don't worry too late.
00:29:14Remember the great Victor Matfield in the middle of the line out.
00:29:16Being able to drift back in the air.
00:29:18Such a long body.
00:29:20What a wonderful player he's been.
00:29:22Crown Jewels.
00:29:22All that energy.
00:29:24Yeah there's a little bit of um.
00:29:26Just a little bit of recovery required.
00:29:28Yes.
00:29:29The less said about the better.
00:29:30Exactly.
00:29:31Now let's move on to the first scrum of the game.
00:29:33And we are 10 minutes in.
00:29:34And the all important platform.
00:29:36Let's go.
00:29:37Water off please.
00:29:38That's what the All Blacks will be looking for.
00:29:42Well those following the game.
00:29:44The last couple of weeks.
00:29:45The last few weeks.
00:29:46Should have seen more angles of scrums.
00:29:49Perhaps than ever before.
00:29:51So take another look.
00:29:52At the line out.
00:29:53Evan Epsive.
00:29:55146th test match.
00:29:57Here today.
00:30:02The All Blacks have been pretty good on their own feet.
00:30:05On the tour.
00:30:06Boom!
00:30:07Nine.
00:30:07Just inside their half.
00:30:10Six.
00:30:11One.
00:30:12One.
00:30:13One.
00:30:13One.
00:30:14One.
00:30:14It's a nice solid platform first up as well.
00:30:17Going away to the side.
00:30:18So Roy Yard.
00:30:19Comes away down the short side.
00:30:20Gets a kick in behind.
00:30:22Kirtley Aronsa in the backfield.
00:30:24Chasing through as well as Satiti.
00:30:26Walgreen.
00:30:27And it's not a bad net result off of the scrum.
00:30:29That's a great win for the All Blacks.
00:30:31And I tell you what an impressive first up scrum.
00:30:34Initial hit was good.
00:30:35And then there was a secondary wave.
00:30:37From the All Blacks.
00:30:38It came through that.
00:30:39Projected the ball onto the front foot for Roy Yard.
00:30:41Exploited the blind side.
00:30:42Great kick to put the Springboks under pressure.
00:30:47Again it's a bit trying to get on the road.
00:30:49Toi Pelozzi this time.
00:30:50This blackhead finds a flat ball for Satiti.
00:30:53Smashing into the box.
00:30:55Defence.
00:30:56Coming the other one.
00:30:57The angle is Josh Morby.
00:30:58Balls being lost forward in contact though.
00:31:01So now the Springboks through Creel.
00:31:02He's got Ethan Hooker.
00:31:04Calling the kick down field as Damien Willemsit.
00:31:06Get up!
00:31:06Get up!
00:31:07Get up!
00:31:09So Damien McKenzie will wheel it round for the All Blacks.
00:31:13And Morby.
00:31:15Has got a couple of players on him.
00:31:16One in Deolende.
00:31:17One in Vandenberg.
00:31:18The half back.
00:31:20So the All Blacks right back on.
00:31:21Or just outside of their own 22.
00:31:24Take him back.
00:31:25And McKenzie tries a little kick over.
00:31:27To the right wing side.
00:31:28Take him back in.
00:31:29And Anton Leonard-Brown.
00:31:31Had he caught bad.
00:31:32He's got a good turn of pace.
00:31:35Yeah he didn't need to...
00:31:35I think he must have thought he had a...
00:31:38A defender sweating on him Anton Leonard-Brown.
00:31:40Because he really just...
00:31:41He kind of didn't take his time.
00:31:44Okay.
00:31:45Probably...
00:31:46Oh, had plenty of time didn't he?
00:31:47Yeah he did.
00:31:48And it's probably very catchable that he was away and into some space if he could hold on to it.
00:31:52See ya.
00:31:53It's a knock on in the field of play.
00:31:55Should we have the option of scrum or line?
00:32:00Scrum or line?
00:32:01Scrum or line?
00:32:02Scrum?
00:32:03It'll be a scrum when we start.
00:32:06I think I knew the answer to that question before.
00:32:09Like if you heard in the referees Mike Carl Dixon asking Sia Khaleesi if he wanted scrum or line out.
00:32:16Now given the strength of the spring box this is the perfect zone to really say okay now we're going
00:32:22to test you.
00:32:23Let's see what your scrum is like on our feet.
00:32:25Yeah well you think about though the number of changes the All Blacks have made coming in this.
00:32:29Fletcher Newell starting at tight head.
00:32:30Cody Taylor and Ethan DeGroote did not play last weekend.
00:32:32Patrick Tupolotu we know how his strength as a player through that tight head side.
00:32:37So I'll be very interested to see how long Carl Dixon allows this scrum to continue after the initial hit.
00:32:46Crouch!
00:32:49Bind!
00:32:54Break foot.
00:32:55Free kick immediately for South Africa.
00:32:57So Damien Der Lendijk taken low by Richie Munger.
00:33:01Brave front on tackle by the 10.
00:33:03Now Jasper Wiese.
00:33:04What a series he has had.
00:33:06Leading in carries.
00:33:07Defenders beat it.
00:33:09Trying to beat a defender here.
00:33:10Sascha Bagnon-Gomozulik does a great job up inside of the red zone for South Africa.
00:33:15Now Damien Willis is up in the line.
00:33:17Malcolm Marks on his short ball.
00:33:23Zanderik trying to get over the top for the All Blacks.
00:33:25Away it comes for South Africa's captain.
00:33:28Khaleesi.
00:33:31Looking to come away to the short side.
00:33:33A couple of forwards.
00:33:35There's perhaps the biggest one on the park.
00:33:37Eben Ezebeth for Mone Vandenberg too, eh Matt?
00:33:40Now Jasper Wiese again.
00:33:43Good front on tackle made by the All Blacks captain.
00:33:46As Deerlinde's got trio with him.
00:33:49Brave defence from Anton Leonard-Brown and Black at it.
00:33:53Feinberg, Romazulik, Josh Morbeck on him.
00:33:56There it is for Ezebeth.
00:33:57South Africa threatening.
00:33:59Mone Vandenberg close.
00:34:01Black at it making the tackle front on.
00:34:13And Damien Deerlinde scores for the Springboks.
00:34:16Well it was relentless, it really was.
00:34:18The carries were physical, they were strong.
00:34:20There's also some clever footwork in there.
00:34:22From Feinberg in Gomazulu.
00:34:25And eventually the All Blacks are forced onto their heels.
00:34:27And when you're on your heels against big ball carriers like Eban Ezebeth.
00:34:31It makes it difficult.
00:34:33Vandenberg went really, really close.
00:34:35And then from there, Deerlinde can see the All Blacks.
00:34:37They just misread this.
00:34:38Bounces out.
00:34:39Ethan De Groot gets caught short.
00:34:41Anton Leonard-Brown doesn't know where to go.
00:34:42And they probably conceded two years early after scrambling quite well.
00:34:47Yeah, that all important territory that the Springboks love.
00:34:51And when they roll up their sleeves and they play with that power game.
00:34:54Their clean out is so good.
00:34:56Heal Blacks not able to get on and contest.
00:34:58And the Springboks just use that to their advantage.
00:35:01And they've done it well.
00:35:02Can you hear me?
00:35:03I can hear me.
00:35:08That's where it goes.
00:35:09Yes.
00:35:11The Springboks.
00:35:12They retake the lead in Baltimore through the try.
00:35:15We can't hear each other.
00:35:16Oh, this man.
00:35:16Damien De Lending.
00:35:19There's the finish.
00:35:20Just that hole opened up on the inside.
00:35:22And the outside of Ethan De Groot.
00:35:24De Groot had to defend that space just by the rug.
00:35:27De Groot, just so you know, we can't hear anyone apart from you.
00:35:29Perfect.
00:35:30Okay, mate.
00:35:31Off we go again.
00:35:32Richie Moonga.
00:35:34It's Peter Steff-Dutoy.
00:35:35Just waiting to make his tackle.
00:35:37That is outside.
00:35:37There's Jordi Barrett.
00:35:39Music please.
00:35:42Oh, Norkia.
00:35:43Inside.
00:35:44Janil brings the big man down on the 22-meter line.
00:35:48Music please.
00:35:48Let go of him now.
00:35:49Inside.
00:35:50Just faking for a moment.
00:35:52Thunberg-Gomozuluk straight down the centre of M&T Bank Stadium as McKenzie.
00:35:59Damien McKenzie just losing the ball in contact.
00:36:02Hasn't been picked up, though.
00:36:03I've got nothing clearly knocked on.
00:36:04That good just the call from Carl Dixon.
00:36:06So Cam Roygaard puts a nice little kick in behind.
00:36:09In fact, he's been given the call.
00:36:11Coming through on the comms.
00:36:14So they will call the knock on.
00:36:16And they'll get their wish again here.
00:36:18Justin Marshall.
00:36:19I guess the problem is for the All Blacks at the moment.
00:36:22The discipline.
00:36:22When I talk discipline, I'm just talking penalties.
00:36:25It's handling errors.
00:36:27It led to the first trial with Anton Leonard Brown not being able to get the cross kick.
00:36:30There's another one from Damien McKenzie.
00:36:32There was a free cricket scrum which got the All Blacks on the back foot.
00:36:36Looking so good with ball in hand.
00:36:37But at the moment, the errors are inviting the Springboks into the game.
00:36:41And in vulnerable areas like here.
00:36:45Yeah, just a connection straight on the ball.
00:36:48Peter Steff, the toy.
00:36:50It's enough to dislodge the ball for McKenzie.
00:36:53And that's that invitation the Springboks love is to try and continue to put pressure on in the set piece.
00:37:02And a penalty to South Africa.
00:37:08It's a part of the game they've dominated heading into this one.
00:37:1214 scrum penalties to the All Blacks three in their last five matches.
00:37:18Right in the center of the field.
00:37:19And they're going to go to the posts here.
00:37:26This discussion.
00:37:27But both of those have been about a break foot.
00:37:30It's a part of Cody Taylor.
00:37:33So he can't move his foot that he's presented forward in the middle of that scrum.
00:37:41I'm interested to see the timing that Malcolm Marks is using in the same scenario.
00:38:24So we're just having an issue with the comms for the officials.
00:38:29So we're just having an issue with the comms for the officials.
00:38:30So they're just going to look to tidy that up.
00:38:32Now that would Jeff Wilson be a lead off I would have thought for the All Blacks.
00:38:35It was interesting for Feinberg and Gomazuli to take a shot from that far out when they could have applied
00:38:41more pressure with a kick inside the 22.
00:38:43And the fact that he missed it I think off a very convenient scrum penalty was a good result for
00:38:49the All Blacks.
00:38:50Yeah the philosophy's changed over the course of the series hasn't it.
00:38:53When there's been points on offer they feel as though they could bank them.
00:38:56Then they've sort of gone to try and do that.
00:38:58If you look at how these games have played out.
00:39:03The team's very, very even.
00:39:06If you look at the All Blacks they've finished games well.
00:39:09A lot of the statistics support the All Blacks but it's been on the wrong side of a couple of
00:39:12test matches.
00:39:14And you wonder whether or not this obviously helps the Springboks as well.
00:39:18If you try to play with tempo and you think fatigue's an issue to get a stoppage as we watch
00:39:24some of the sterling play on offer.
00:39:28Work from the All Blacks early on in this contest.
00:39:31They've certainly been willing as Peter Larkai just as this is being played here.
00:39:36Peter Larkai returns to the field after his HIA he's passed that while Satiti goes back to the bench.
00:39:42I think both teams March should be pretty happy with what they've been able to create for the first 18
00:39:46minutes.
00:39:47Yeah they certainly will.
00:39:49Springboks are certainly looking to move the ball as well.
00:39:52See Malcolm March distribute quite a bit Oxen chair as well.
00:39:56So they are looking now to play a little bit more than just one off two off runners physically running
00:40:01at you.
00:40:01They're showing some subtleties as well.
00:40:03Looking to get the ball to different areas.
00:40:05Real intent to play from both sides.
00:40:11Very warm conditions here too in Baltimore.
00:40:15Spent the last month in South Africa on the coast.
00:40:18The High Velt.
00:40:22Testing conditions in this deciding fourth test match.
00:40:28Well this will clearly be frustrating in some ways for both teams because it's been such a good test match.
00:40:33As we continue to wait and clearly in the world that we live in these days.
00:40:39The referees touch-hatches, foul play review officers, CMOs.
00:40:44They all have got plenty to say and they need to communicate with each other.
00:40:48And that's what we're waiting on right now.
00:40:51It's interesting you talk about those statistics, Goldie, that the All Blacks have been leading on this tour.
00:40:56But coming into this one, 13 tries to eight.
00:41:00They've had more 22 visits, more carries, more clean breaks, more defenders beaten, more offloads, passes, turnovers.
00:41:06But it's the nature of the game.
00:41:08Test rugby.
00:41:09The Fox fighting back to win the second and third matches.
00:41:15And this crowd, this excellent crowd that's showing up here today to support both the Springboks and the All Blacks.
00:41:23I'm sure there's a few neutrals in there as well, Goldie.
00:41:28Yeah, not many.
00:41:30If they are, they're probably wearing a green jersey.
00:41:32I'm not sure what they're going to do here.
00:41:34They're getting the captains in.
00:41:36I think they have a discussion.
00:41:38We might have a game where they can't talk to each other.
00:41:42What would happen then?
00:41:44Anyone got an idea?
00:41:47Bob, no, you'd just think that Carl Dixon would just be the man in charge.
00:41:52And unless it was something, obviously, we can't hear what's being discussed.
00:41:56We know that it's a massive comps problem.
00:41:59If there was an incident of foul play, then they would have to probably stop the game in a style
00:42:04where they come to the sideline to work it out.
00:42:05Otherwise, just let Carl Dixon referee.
00:42:08Old school.
00:42:10Old school.
00:42:12Tell you what, this probably is very fitting to compliment Baltimore and the support that this rugby fixer, the greatest
00:42:22rivalry, has brought to the USA.
00:42:23It is a full stadium here.
00:42:26And so, where you're not in a rugby town, by any means, the fact that this type of stadium can
00:42:32be filled is absolutely magnificent to see.
00:42:34And why not sing Sweet Caroline in a break?
00:42:40Take it away, Justin.
00:42:42I'll give that a miss, but I will inform everybody that we have heard that they are looking to restart
00:42:48the match without any comms.
00:42:51So, it looks like the problem is not going to be fixable in the short term, so it'll be a
00:42:58matter of how they facilitate the team over to the game with the two ARs and referee Carl Dixon.
00:43:05But I think the urgency is in getting this game going again more than anything.
00:43:09Yeah, absolutely.
00:43:11And, you know, all of a sudden, when they play, maybe the assistant referees will look at the foul play.
00:43:19Just an old-school flag out, maybe.
00:43:22Stop the game if something's necessary.
00:43:25I know it's going to be a frustration for everyone.
00:43:32Well, Sweet Caroline, music to the ears of this crowd in Baltimore in full voice.
00:43:39Just hazard a guess.
00:43:41If it is just Carl Dixon in charge for the rest of this test match.
00:43:45Music to the ears of a few people watching.
00:43:49As well.
00:43:53What a fast game.
00:43:55It's been a good start to this test match as we saw last week in Soweto.
00:44:00A long break here.
00:44:04And this first meeting between these two great rivals.
00:44:10So, the discussions here are regarding if this situation happens, both teams have to agree to proceed without comms.
00:44:17Now, South Africa have already agreed. New Zealand is still considering.
00:44:22So, that's what we're waiting for. New Zealand to make a decision if they're prepared to continue this test match
00:44:27without full comms.
00:44:29South Africa are happy to.
00:44:30We're waiting on New Zealand's response.
00:44:42Well, when you've got a delay like this, Geoff Wilson.
00:44:45The best thing you can do in the stadium in terms of atmosphere is bowed out hits from the 80s,
00:44:50I guess.
00:44:52Sing along.
00:44:52Change the playlist.
00:44:53Sing along tunes.
00:44:55You wonder whether or not they've got one ready to go.
00:44:57I'm sure.
00:44:57Just in case.
00:45:01It's been a long tour, Goldie.
00:45:02Plenty of fresh players involved today.
00:45:06Of course, a number of injury and force.
00:45:07But as I mentioned, coming from South Africa over here to the United States, we know there was some rain
00:45:11in the forecast.
00:45:12But what is conditions?
00:45:13What is it like sidelined with that humidity in the air as well?
00:45:15Yeah, there's no doubt it's warm and it takes its toll regardless as you're playing the game, the hot air.
00:45:22And then just that we've seen a couple of handling errors where all of a sudden, whether or not there's
00:45:27a film on the ball,
00:45:29all of the ball boys have got towels to try and dry off the position.
00:45:33It doesn't get any less physical and it certainly is warm.
00:45:37But for these conditioned athletes, they can go out there and they can continue to push and challenge themselves and
00:45:43play with tempo.
00:45:44And they're certainly not going to tie up as this break's gone on.
00:45:49Pretty quickly when they're back into it, they'll be feeling back to normal.
00:45:53You talk about changes, this squad here in your pitch to the Springboks hasn't changed a lot over the last
00:45:58few weeks.
00:45:59And after talking to Rassi Rasmus before the game, he got the sense he was treating all of these matchups
00:46:06like it was a knockout game after the first one.
00:46:09But that willingness to win one-off games, one-off test matches.
00:46:13The All Blacks in this test have presented opportunities for other players, some through selection, some through injury.
00:46:22He's looking for consistency, Rassi Rasmus with this team.
00:46:26Bulk of changes in the Nations Championship earlier in the year.
00:46:30Only a handful featured against Argentina heading into the greatest rivalry series.
00:46:35So, number of players short of minutes.
00:46:38It's certainly turned a corner in Cape Town and Soweto on the third test.
00:46:45So, almost set to resume here.
00:46:49Okay, yeah.
00:46:50So, the word is that both teams have agreed to play on.
00:46:53If there is a TMO decision that is relevant, there will be a phone call made down to an official
00:46:59on the side of the field who will then give the information to the AR that will then alert Carl
00:47:04Dixon that something needs to be looked at.
00:47:06So, that's how the game is going to proceed from now until they fix the comms.
00:47:10Failing that, we've got messenger pigeons on standby as well in Baltimore.
00:47:14Away we go again.
00:47:15Feinberg and Gomazulu.
00:47:16Fails through.
00:47:16A short pass.
00:47:17Fails through.
00:47:17Jasper Wieser bumping straight through as Morde Vandenberg gets it away on the front foot.
00:47:25We're under way again.
00:47:27Approaching the first quarter gone in Baltimore.
00:47:29Feinberg and Gomazulu.
00:47:30Willemse putting a little kick through.
00:47:33Back there to tidy up for the All Blacks.
00:47:35There's Ethan Black at it who lays it back for Roygaard, just outside of the All Blacks 22.
00:47:41as Derrick smashes his way in to Itzebeth, tries to come through.
00:47:50For Roy Yacht, again, sends it very high indeed.
00:47:54And as far as Willemser, he's been superb under the high ball in this series.
00:48:00As Von Lundberg, from his 10-metre line, gets his pass away.
00:48:03And again, it's Viesa just beating players at will.
00:48:13Von Lundberg looks for his options, decides to put up a box kick himself.
00:48:18Chasing through as Kurt Learonson, Josh Morby has done a good job on the left-wing side.
00:48:23Piling through, though, on the counter-rack.
00:48:25Roy Yacht, though, breaks down the short side.
00:48:27Cam Roy Yacht, he's got Peter Luck-Eye with him!
00:48:31Luck-Eye into Feinberg and Gomezulu.
00:48:33The All Blacks, eight metres inside.
00:48:35New Zealand player on the floor.
00:48:37And we've got Combs back.
00:48:39The All Blacks are back, too.
00:48:43And he'll come back, though.
00:48:45Carl Dixon, all the way back to the 22.
00:48:50It's all happening in Baltimore.
00:48:52Cody Taylor's been opened up as well.
00:48:57Well, obviously, the ball was caught by Morby.
00:49:00And what they're saying is that an All Black player, which the first supporting player there was Ritchie Moonga, has
00:49:06raked it back with his hands, which obviously he can't do.
00:49:09Oh, I think it may be Morby.
00:49:11Oh, wow, that's general place.
00:49:13Come on.
00:49:13Come on, man.
00:49:14And the ball on the floor.
00:49:15Really?
00:49:16That is very pedantic, unfortunately.
00:49:18And, man, it has cost the All Blacks massively.
00:49:21He's just trying to place the ball as the counter-rack is coming in.
00:49:24One, two, three, four.
00:49:25The ability to do that, he just ended up pushing it away, and it's a tough one.
00:49:29Real tough one to swallow.
00:49:31We're going to have to really steal up now the All Blacks.
00:49:42And it goes, Malcolm Marks to Edsabeth, barely gets off the ground.
00:49:48Mole defence has been pretty good for the All Blacks on the tour so far, but there's a penalty advantage
00:49:53against the All Blacks, Mono Fluttenberg.
00:49:59And he goes for the Springboks, and they're out to 15 points to seven.
00:50:07Well, they are, and the All Blacks do get hurt by the Springboks.
00:50:10They got a very favourable, controversial call from the breakdown off a penalty.
00:50:15And then from there, didn't compete in the line-out, just went straight to Edsabeth.
00:50:21Didn't go up, I should say.
00:50:22The line-out wall was dangerous, and had the All Blacks really scrambling to try and contain it.
00:50:27And then, Mono Fluttenberg, he's so dangerous.
00:50:31He's nippy, he's quick.
00:50:33Slight dummy, catches out Sam there.
00:50:35He goes underneath him, and Roygaard can't do anything to stop him that close.
00:50:38The Springboks strike, two on the bounce.
00:50:41Yeah, it's a good finish, just that territory once again.
00:50:45A quick push at the mall.
00:50:48Had the All Blacks in sixes and sevens, he read it well.
00:50:54Reading it well, too, as Sascha, Feinberg, and Gomazulu, now this man pulling the lines,
00:51:00and just his fifth start, scores for the Springboks.
00:51:04Yeah, it's all good, player.
00:51:05Yeah, it's a good read.
00:51:07Just holds that ball up, defence tries to come up, opens up that seam from the dive-through.
00:51:18Ten-point lead for South Africa is underway.
00:51:22Again, Deerlindic clattering into it.
00:51:25Hang your way!
00:51:26Hang your way!
00:51:2711!
00:51:29He's getting his hands away in time.
00:51:31Okay, use it, please.
00:51:32Josh Morby, back 4.0, Fandenberg, the try-scorer.
00:51:38Up it goes.
00:51:39Just hanging in the third-play.
00:51:41Curtly Aronson comes through.
00:51:42There, though, for Damian McKenzie.
00:51:43Nokia hammers the full-back.
00:51:46The line-out for Fletcher Newell.
00:51:48Good footwork by the tighthead.
00:51:49We saw that in Super Rugby.
00:51:50Oh, how?
00:51:51Tying it back up.
00:51:52This season, and up inside the Springboks half he goes.
00:51:55Now, Jordy Barrett a bit deeper.
00:51:56With the full-back.
00:51:58Away to the wing of Will Jordan on hooker.
00:52:00Gets around hooker.
00:52:01Not so Jesse Creel.
00:52:03The All Blacks on the front foot in South African Territory.
00:52:08Cody Taylor past the 10-metre line.
00:52:11Now Cam Roigard, little show-and-go himself.
00:52:13A little isolated at the breakdown.
00:52:15And away comes South Africa through Marks.
00:52:18Just needed some support there, the All Blacks.
00:52:21And away they come again, up to the halfway line.
00:52:25Villamsep, head first receiver.
00:52:28The full-back decides to go back across field almost.
00:52:31Cutting away through, just losing his footing on the Baltimore turf.
00:52:34Take him back in.
00:52:36Feinberg, Gomazulu.
00:52:38Very high, not a great deal of distance on the bomb.
00:52:41But Ethan Hooker brings it down beautifully.
00:52:43Hold away!
00:52:45Moreau Feinberg for Peter Steffdutoye on the outside.
00:52:49Tries to find Ethan Hooker in support.
00:52:52And in the end, it has come forward off the All Blacks.
00:52:55So a knock-on advantage for South Africa.
00:52:58Amin Dirlendi trying to find a way through.
00:53:00Lucki and Newell.
00:53:01He's over!
00:53:03Here it is for Jesse Creel.
00:53:05Just holding the ball up and he loses the ball forward in contact.
00:53:08Head called advantage over.
00:53:11Excellent attack by the Springboks.
00:53:13But it will be an All Black scrum.
00:53:14Yeah, their ball movement's really good, though.
00:53:17But getting to the edges of the All Blacks' defence, I tell you, it took a good tackle
00:53:20from Anton Leonard-Brown to bring down Peter Steffdutoye, but then they looked to move it
00:53:25and shift it across field again.
00:53:27The Springboks here, interchange of play in terms of between backs and forwards is very good.
00:53:32And they're really asking the All Blacks some big questions on defence.
00:53:37I think it is.
00:53:38I think it is that injury.
00:53:39Is it ahead?
00:53:41It is ahead, no.
00:53:42Your time off.
00:53:44Sorry, I didn't.
00:53:45You might want to get cleaned up as well, Cody.
00:53:48Got a lot of blood here.
00:53:49A bit to look at here.
00:53:51Cody Taylor, I think, Goldie's going to get some attention.
00:53:54Yeah, it's obviously that early collision in the game.
00:53:57They've got to go and tidy up.
00:53:59It's Damien Dirlendi, who's the man that they've slowed the game down for,
00:54:03but he just feels as though he's just taking a shot on his cheekbone.
00:54:07Did you get that, Jaco?
00:54:08It's Cody Taylor.
00:54:09Yeah, we just check him.
00:54:17That was actually the friendly fire.
00:54:20So Cody Taylor and Anton Leonard-Brown collide.
00:54:22If you can see Taylor, they're just reaching you straight away.
00:54:25That he'd been split.
00:54:26The player was on the wrong side, I couldn't let you see the ball.
00:54:28As he clashed with Anton Leonard-Brown.
00:54:30Okay, we're happy.
00:54:31I think it sounds like they've cleared the Dillende tackle.
00:54:35There's not been a problem.
00:54:36Yeah, I know.
00:54:36Sometimes it's difficult.
00:54:37I've asked him.
00:54:37I've got anything back yet.
00:54:38They're not going to go to the scrum.
00:54:39Yeah.
00:54:40They're asking.
00:54:41There's no clear head contact at all.
00:54:43See, yeah.
00:54:44No clear head contact.
00:54:46That's the information I've been given.
00:54:47He's got off for an A-TRA.
00:54:49He's complaining about it here.
00:54:50Listen, we do the same.
00:54:51We ask the questions that we get asked by the captains.
00:54:54If Cody do the same, we do the same.
00:54:55So plenty of stoppages in this first half.
00:54:58The all-important fourth test of rugby's greatest rivalry.
00:55:02First traditional tour between the two old foes since 1996.
00:55:09Great foot's in.
00:55:11They can't win it in the U.S., but they can stop South Africa.
00:55:16At the moment, though, on that 22-meter line and down by 10 with 15 to play in this first
00:55:23half.
00:55:24Let's go.
00:55:26Let's go.
00:55:28Let's go.
00:55:31Let's go.
00:55:32Crouch.
00:55:35Find.
00:55:38Set.
00:55:42Trying to put a shove on South Africa.
00:55:43the all-blacks again stable as Richie Wonga it's a pretty good angle on his
00:55:49kick try to find the touchline currently aren't it keeps it in Fort
00:55:53Damien Willems it it's around the first defender a beautiful offload away to
00:55:57the currently he's got plenty of pace and agility on his feet lays it back to
00:56:03Vandenberg flat of the line is Damien Delinda beautiful play by the Springboks
00:56:08keeping the ball alive Jasper Wieser wading his way inside of the 22 oh shooting
00:56:15up to make the tackle and just not making it stick Geordie Barrett in South
00:56:19Africa again right where they want to be 10 meters out from the all-black line and
00:56:26looking for a third try
00:56:31Vandenberg aims up for Eben Ezebeth on the judge
00:56:36Oxen chair wrapping around he takes play inside the 10
00:56:42Vandenberg looking for a runner he's got Ron Nokia
00:56:48the all-blacks with the penalty
00:56:51Clow on his feet you're off his feet
00:56:53they needed that look at Cody Taylor he's on his haunches his hands on hips
00:57:01this attack from the Springboks is very good they broke out from basically a 22
00:57:07Villamser with the miraculous pass to Orenser then he just skinned a couple of
00:57:11defenders and from there the all-blacks really had to scramble Moonga hasn't made touch
00:57:15ball still in play as Damien Villamser casually brings it back nothing casual about the all-black
00:57:21defense there on the Springbok fullback
00:57:24and away comes Wilco low
00:57:26go go back in one
00:57:28go three fours the ruck
00:57:31right now for Feinberg and Gomez Zuluk he again sends the ball very very high indeed
00:57:35and down it comes and it's well taken once more this time by Dierlendik
00:57:42and away they go to the left Eben Ezebeth
00:57:45but a big fend on does well to hold on
00:57:48Will Jordan
00:57:52Cam Roygaard on his opposite trying to affect the tackle it's there for Creel
00:57:56he'll play half-back for Malcolm Marks
00:58:02Oren Vandenberg looks for Dierlendik first receiver
00:58:05in a static start the all-blacks will try and hold the man up the tackle's been made
00:58:09back it comes maybe a drop goal here for Feinberg and Gomez Zuluk
00:58:16and he's away trying to add the extra three
00:58:21but Sasha Feinberg and Gomez Zuluk floats it wide of the posts
00:58:25as the all-blacks waste no time
00:58:28and get back underway downfield just in front of the 22-meter line
00:58:31as Sasha Feinberg and Gomez Zuluk puts a fend
00:58:34around Morby
00:58:36now Willemsit keeping the ball alive again for Kirtley-Orensit
00:58:39trying to dance his way around
00:58:41doesn't get around Morby
00:58:43No!
00:58:45Vandenberg
00:58:46up for Wieser
00:58:49just over the halfway line the Springbok slow ball this time
00:58:52try and move that move it
00:58:53for them to work with
00:58:55and once more he sends that one up high
00:58:57and giving him a chance to come through Kirtley-Orensit
00:59:00backwards is the call
00:59:01Zulukulisic
00:59:02the captain
00:59:03again 22-meter ball for the Springboks
00:59:06but he just loses it forward
00:59:09they are
00:59:09they are relentless to Springboks
00:59:12moving the ball
00:59:13but when they're kicking the ball
00:59:14they've pretty much won every aerial battle
00:59:17they are so good in the air
00:59:19Orensit look at his intent to chase
00:59:20and his timing is so very good
00:59:22Moanga's there goes up
00:59:23but Orensit just timing is bang on
00:59:26slaps it back to Kulisi
00:59:30they are winning a few areas that are enabling
00:59:33not enabling the All Blacks to get into the game at all
00:59:35they've just had no position the All Blacks have they
00:59:39Moanga missed touch on the penalty
00:59:41and they've been caught in their own territory
00:59:44for large parts of this game
00:59:45and having to defend at the moment
00:59:47they are in survival mode
00:59:48they need something to switch the momentum
00:59:52Crouch!
00:59:54all the ball for the Springboks
00:59:55the last 10 minutes over the half
00:59:5762% for them
01:00:03and again the All Blacks managing
01:00:05to free it away
01:00:07Roygaard with a good kick downfield
01:00:10plenty of time for Willemsit
01:00:11in the way of his options
01:00:13sends up a high kick to chase himself
01:00:15Damian Willemsit impeccable as always
01:00:19outstanding work by the box 15
01:00:21as Marks
01:00:23again carting it forward
01:00:25all the play with South Africa
01:00:27Sartre Feinberg and Gomez Zulu
01:00:29trying to find a 50-22
01:00:31one metre inside
01:00:32Maria blip on his report card
01:00:34in the first half
01:00:35he sends it out on the full
01:00:36yeah they needed that
01:00:38the All Blacks as well
01:00:39this is their chance
01:00:40they need line out the execution
01:00:42and then they just need to see
01:00:44if they can start to fatigue the Springboks
01:00:46they've had all of the possession
01:00:47in the last 10 minutes
01:00:48they need to make them
01:00:49have to make and burn some energy
01:00:51on defence
01:00:52just by maintaining the ball
01:00:54no errors
01:00:57nine to play
01:00:58until the break
01:00:59in Baltimore
01:01:00Cody Taylor sends in for Darry
01:01:02got the ball back at the front
01:01:03the hooker
01:01:04it's untidy
01:01:05penalty advantage
01:01:06there's a penalty advantage though
01:01:07taken in the air
01:01:09penalty advantage
01:01:10tuck in the air
01:01:11just what the All Blacks needed
01:01:14they've got a free swing here
01:01:15from inside of their own half
01:01:17Anton Leonard-Brown
01:01:18floats the wide pass away
01:01:19to Josh Morby
01:01:21just to get through them
01:01:23Morby takes play
01:01:23just shy of a half way
01:01:25for Roigard
01:01:27Ritchie Moonga
01:01:28Jordie Barrett

01:01:38for Cam Roigard
01:01:41over the ball is Malcolm Marks
01:01:43who wouldn't that every day of the week
01:01:44but he'd come back
01:01:45no no he's isolated
01:01:45there's no players anywhere near him
01:01:46and the All Blacks with a handy penalty
01:01:48but he's isolated
01:01:49yeah
01:01:50no one's anywhere near him
01:01:51fortunate the All Blacks there
01:01:52I thought advantage as well
01:01:53and truly over
01:01:54they
01:01:55put plenty of phases together
01:01:57and they equally created some space
01:01:58it was down to last defender
01:02:00to get Cam Roigard or Ish
01:02:02and they had the Springbok scramble
01:02:04there's no one anywhere near
01:02:05from your players
01:02:06he's trying to search the ball
01:02:07will it go all the way back to line out
01:02:08and get this penalty advantage
01:02:09I think
01:02:09that was right at the extent
01:02:11of the advantage law
01:02:12yeah I'd have to agree
01:02:14but for the All Blacks
01:02:16they'll be thinking
01:02:17nice to get a rub of the green
01:02:19so they get some field position
01:02:21it's now
01:02:22execution at line out time
01:02:23you have to stay away

01:07:54Antonetta Brown
01:07:55receiving treatment
01:07:56yeah
01:07:56he was hobbling
01:07:58trying to support
01:07:58Will Jordan
01:08:00it's either calf or cramp
01:08:02or something like that
01:08:03he wasn't able to
01:08:04to get to him
01:08:05and off his hip
01:08:05it's a leg injury
01:08:06we're going to play
01:08:07we're going
01:08:08oh that was all about character
01:08:11Dave Rennie's talked about that
01:08:12during the week
01:08:1330 plus phases
01:08:14Will Jordan
01:08:15his 55th test try
01:08:18and it's 17-14
01:08:20and for the rugby we've had
01:08:23outside of the stoppages
01:08:24what a first half
01:08:26of test footing
01:08:29now Tupovai
01:08:30got that big penalty
01:08:31down the end here
01:08:33to put them back
01:08:34at the right end
01:08:35of the puck
01:08:40Roigard
01:08:42has his kick charge
01:08:43as Eben Ezebeth comes through
01:08:45and will beat everyone
01:08:46there
01:08:47just nursing it over
01:08:49and it is
01:08:51going to be a goal
01:08:52line dropout
01:08:54so perhaps
01:08:56time in was good
01:08:57one last twist
01:08:58in the first half to come
01:08:59excellent effort by
01:09:01big Eben Ezebeth
01:09:02I certainly was
01:09:04he is always working
01:09:06Eben Ezebeth
01:09:07true professional
01:09:08workaholic
01:09:09goes for everything
01:09:14long
01:09:15slams it
01:09:16tries to get it over the
01:09:17halfway line
01:09:17just inside the
01:09:18All Blacks half
01:09:19for a man who needs
01:09:20no second invitation
01:09:21on the wind-up
01:09:22off the back fence
01:09:23Jasper Wiese
01:09:25real test of both of these
01:09:27teams fitness
01:09:28we know the All Blacks
01:09:30incredibly fit
01:09:31this season
01:09:32and they'll need to be
01:09:34to close out the first
01:09:35half
01:09:35it's come forward though
01:09:36of Damian Willemser
01:09:38knock on
01:09:40this will be a case
01:09:41the All Blacks will just
01:09:42want to get into the scrum
01:09:43out of it
01:09:44and into half-time
01:09:45yeah
01:09:46absolutely
01:09:47I think
01:09:47it's been exhausting
01:09:49the defence
01:09:50I've had to
01:09:51put up with
01:09:52when South Africa
01:09:53are on their foils
01:09:54and having a real period
01:09:55and then obviously 32 phases
01:09:56to get their try
01:09:57it takes its toll
01:09:59it's taken its toll
01:10:12that 25 phases
01:10:16on both teams
01:10:17yes
01:10:17Grant
01:10:20blocked
01:10:21bind
01:10:22set
01:10:27very
01:10:29good
01:10:29Out
01:10:29But the All Blacks' Cam Roygaard does eventually, but will they get a penalty?
01:10:34That is a penalty too, Goldie, yes.
01:10:35What would you do here, Justin?
01:10:38Go at them.
01:10:39Yeah, if you're going to get some territory, go a little bit further,
01:10:42maybe bite off a little bit more on this kick.
01:10:44Yeah, and maybe you get yourself into position even to force another penalty,
01:10:49have a chance to kick three.
01:10:51You don't button off here, you don't concede the half, no way.
01:10:56Like it, nice kick.
01:10:58Yeah, not bad at all.
01:11:01Because I can't imagine now the Springboks will play if they get position.
01:11:05The All Blacks looking to strike just on the break, a half-time break.
01:11:12Absorbing first 40 of tennis rugby, the All Blacks will get perhaps the final say here.
01:11:21Shorter line-out for Cody Taylor.
01:11:24In fact, they come to the 15.
01:11:26Darry goes up, wins it cleanly for the All Blacks.
01:11:28So just inside the Springbok half, Peter Lachey storming forward.
01:11:33Tackle, let go now.
01:11:34Tackle's mate, he just got a knee down.
01:11:36As Roygaard looks away.
01:11:38There he is, Rico Ioane, the inside pass for Jordan.
01:11:42They'll try and come through to win the ball here, South Africa.
01:11:45And they might win a penalty too, they do as well.
01:11:47The All Blacks pinged for coming in the side.
01:11:49Yeah, poor decision from Ethan Black at it.
01:11:52Two was first man, then seven's come in the side.
01:11:54Number two was first man.
01:11:55God, he's an absolute nuisance, as Malcolm Marks.
01:11:59And that assault the All Blacks had on the Springbok blind a few minutes ago.
01:12:05He had, I think, four or five digs.
01:12:08He just keeps persevering.
01:12:11And he, that time, before his perseverance, he got the win.
01:12:15He just does not give up.
01:12:17He's such a, an exceptional exponent.
01:12:20And Feinberg of God-Mazulu hasn't made touch.
01:12:25Couldn't find it.
01:12:26No, we can go this way.
01:12:26And so, it is half time.
01:12:32And the fourth test here in Baltimore.
01:12:36What a first 40 of test match rugby.
01:12:39And at half time, it is the Springboks over the All Blacks by 17 points to 14.
01:12:50The drinks break is brought to you by Manuka Fuel.
01:12:54No synthetic ingredients.
01:12:57No synthetic aftertaste.
01:13:00I'm not sure you've ever seen two teams that are in quite as need of a drink break as that.
01:13:05That was quite a hectic first 40 of footy there.
01:13:08Kia ora, Itupano.
01:13:08Thank you so much for joining us.
01:13:09The greatest rivalry tour at Enns today.
01:13:12Can the All Blacks get one back?
01:13:14Well, they currently are trailing the Springboks.
01:13:1617 points to 14.
01:13:17I've still got Gus and Aaron alongside me here.
01:13:20And, boys, I don't really know where to start with that.
01:13:23I think probably the end of it was most exciting after 32 phases.
01:13:27We get one back and put ourselves in a good position going into the half.
01:13:30But we started very well, Aaron.
01:13:32Yes, we did.
01:13:33You can see Cody Taylor's try in the eighth minute there.
01:13:36The ball was flowing.
01:13:37There was real continuity to the All Blacks play in this passage.
01:13:41And then, as good champions do, though, Gus, the Springboks hit straight back.
01:13:46Yeah.
01:13:46Off a bit of ill-discipline and some errors, they went back to what they know best, and
01:13:50that's bully ball.
01:13:52Went through their scrum, which has been holding up pretty well for the All Blacks.
01:13:54But getting in tight.
01:13:56I mean, come here, stay down more, which catches them by surprise.
01:13:59In this, you know, it's sort of what we're talking about, the inevitability of them scoring.
01:14:03And Vandenberg here, I mean, this is a classic nine penalty advantage.
01:14:07A little show and go.
01:14:08Gary will be a bit disappointed with that one.
01:14:10And then this, to end the half, really, 32 phases from the All Blacks.
01:14:16Continuity, cohesion, and, of course, Will Jordan scoring another test try.
01:14:21But that last passage of play there for me was crucial, I think, from both sides.
01:14:26For the All Blacks to know that they can take the Springboks deep, and then conversely,
01:14:30the Springboks knowing if they are not crystal clear and tight on their defence, then the All
01:14:35Blacks can punish them.
