rivalry underway a repeat of last year's Rugby World Cup final a repeat of the 1995 Rugby World Cup Final on this very ground in Johannesburg early call from Peter St to toy wearing starting a test match for the first time this season beautiful little pop on by Williams as his face out to the right for Bowden Barrett and blackett taken hard towards touch still alive for the All Blacks McKenzie no foul play falling down into that no foul play no Savia double figure phases now for the All Blacks in this opening stanza [Applause] Visa trying to rle his way out of the tackle area carry from Taylor front football again for the All Blacks and another carry for black add Yani strong tackle from Sasha fber and Ru with assistance from Jesse K they're both trapped on the ground [Music] now Ethan black better again three carries in this move alone and McKenzie finding some space for Savia out on the right and a huge tackle on him it's a brilliant opening period great defensive set from the spring box wow wow wow what a [Applause] start panada Jordy Barrett setb play on this time it comes out the back for M kin he runs at the half back Barett over the top for Kane and black at lost forward by Sam Kan who went for a second bite come first T McKenzie it was that offload that created the opportunity for the All Blacks with Barr running onto it but you get the feeling black add should have given it to clock early was face an opportunity but the springb scramble defense at the moment working beautifully but there is place out wide in The Wider channels on the ages from New Zealand tackle first off thir here so time off here's the carry from black at it and then R so tackles on the wrong side there bran can you confirm diving over the top 15 in a he's in offside position what yeah 15 going to be a yellow card tackler gets up in the runway he needs to get back around up fussy as the man showing the card for entering the tackle from the wrong side and and preventing the pass from being made field well that's a huge moment see yeah is off the spring box down to play Black at 100% had to forast Caleb CL was free on the outside he would have had a real dig the try scoring opportunity however with a man in the this is a big chance for the All Blacks t on here tacka gets up in the runway affected speeder ball so appi the ruling is from the wrong side got got in the path of the the pass to Sam Kane he's dropped two and two Taylor Sav the target the or blacks getting some momentum from their mall over and down Cody Taylor the man who gets up with the ball a fourth try for him against South Africa a 21st test try in total in his 90th test match immediately capitalizing yeah and K asking for the double banking but New Zealand get down souc C heing the front P but you need to hit that from the inside and drive it towards the touch line so the share off and straight through so I think they might have a look at this but look like the share off is it the same all or not that's going to be the question that's asked but what a start all started off that penalty early on in New Zealand it's been all New Zealand against the South African defense something had to give Damon McKenzie has not scored any points in test rugby against the spring box off the boot just one try in his six test matches against South Africa just his 11th start to fly half in test rugby spring box packing in around him Andi with the break away he had a lot to do there b Mani but he has a second against the old blacks the 15th in test rby and still with 14 on the field South Africa on the ball that's a power play southa marched up penalty set piece to set piece but this well set penalty Advantage but B be so good at the back of the scrum he realizes he needs to go gets into peace mode low body position stumps his legs refuses to die with the ball in he's working hard yeah he had plenty to do oh yeah he lost control of [Applause] that three seconds is that time seconds there's a lot of confusion here because the blacks were advancing along with some of their management because they feel that the try should not have been awarded Sasha fber and Gulu halted his kick as a consequence there was an elbow on the ground there but it's play on and away for R Yani Jordan extraordinary tric scoring record 33 in 33 tests good the or black right winger flag up for Jordan way on the far side trying to punch a hole on South Africa's defensive line tonado wants to come back to his left FR man what's happening the new zealanders are falling over their feet what you want to do is you keep your head up and have that dra and no hands are allowed he's going for it he's going big and he gave a little nudge of the ball forward just a just a meter or so and Andy bracet on hand to show him exactly where the penalty was awarded he's learning fast the CL up this this was I thought see the went off their feet so it's another that's why Visa went for it what they do is the cleaners actually need to hold their weight the body weight up and there's no hands allowed on the rack the last time the spring box beat the All Blacks on this ground was in 2014 when Patrick lambi go a penalty late in the game from a similar distance to this Sasha fur and Gulu certainly got the distance and gets over with some to spare panar Yani Ethan blacka has been carrying relentlessly throughout this first half but not back in the tackle that time fussy made a good call and Brilliant out of the air from a long way out Dixon that ball lost forward by yast Visa as he came around the corner so turnover ball here for the All Blacks it could be on for them Bowden Barrett for Jordan and Caleb Clark Clark is in brilliant transition newand from the All Blacks it was an unforced error from the spring boxes Dixon tried to Pop the ball up for Visa quick transition into attack some slick handling they had Superior numbers away to their left and Caleb Clark in with a first try against the spring box yeah and that's a and the thing is not one R Creator but look at the pace here sorry the r came from there but look at the pace on mckeny coming through and Jesse K had no option but to rush up good skills from Lomax the prop this is where New Zealand are dangerous make a mistake and you will get punished but this time Caleb Klo got the ball a lot earlier so give him gave him room to work but the pace at which McKenzie took the ball that's what put Pace on the ball that was the injection of pace the All Blacks need did and over [Music] wined Jen kby chasing it down again and McKenzie has gone wide M to toy Andy brace will give this time to unfold G for k pass went forward a gim me it's an easy [Applause] [Applause] three so he put one over from 60 M which might have gone over from 65 so pretty simple decision with halftime beckoning to reduce the deficit to one I get anxiety when I start talking about onepoint differences between these two [Applause] teams so timed out on the conversion attempt of bongu mani's try got them in front with a penalty 8 to7 now this to make it 1211 the score in the World Cup final last year in the opposite direction no problem for Sasha [Music] totoy takes two All Blacks to get him on the ground trying to create a mismatch with first there's a knock on there and halim is called by Andy bra so halim at Emirates Airline Park in Johannesburg it's South Africa 11 New Zealand 12 Sasha fulu first match against the All Blacks gets the second half underway a little juggle from tupo Panara Scott Barrett inside and wonder how long it'll be before both coaches go to their bench we've already seen a substitution stop on the side of South Africa ith came on for a blood injury to Ruan noia but then replaced Ben Jason Dixon on the line New Zealand so zabeth and noria in the second row and Peter St toy reverting to the side of the [Applause] scrum fourman line out called it's ath down for Rak fulu and the interception is from Jordy Barrett chased down by Kirt Lear and but Barrett has too much the perfect start to the second half but soft from the spring box yeah and he's obviously done his homework the South Africans had run that play I think they're looking for CIA kissi as dar's having a chat to the bench there they realize the impact they'll have to have but Jordy Barrett read this beautifully it's a front wall they got the junk be the new zealanders and they looking for SI on the drift he was in the hole C kisi but Barrett got into the passing Lane and got they just in time perfect start to the second off from New Zealand well third try for the All Blacks and the simplest of conversions for Damen McKenzie he points the lead first throw for Marx no contest on the throw to Ruan no his feet are up off the ground yeah yeah thank you I'm unable to get forward momentum so stop called by Andy brace Marx Williams and dindy vage tackler first excellent work from dindy and another penalty Advantage for the tackler not rolling away away eight Williams van Gulu taken down by pan there's going to be a warning here with repeated infringement in the in the Red Zone area in the 22 me area two Ki was in there saying six got to roll out before you compete six got to roll out before you compete back at the man penalized Scott that's two at the tackle as I just said well was very good line up defense by the All Blacks Malcolm marks know how very dangerous he is when he gets his opportunity at the back of the mall he's lethal and picks his moments really well they shut that down and compromised the delivery a little bit and then good defense line defense from there but obviously illegally and an opportunity of South Africa to bank three back pretty quickly after the all black striking early in this second half by Jordy Barett Mari what's the response down there to the bomb squad any movement on the New Zealand bench not at this stage probably a little early for the All Blacks they'll be very well aware that this was going to happen and it can happen at any stage in the game sometimes even before halftime it'll be something smoken about and you have to be aware of it but equally you just have to stick with your own policy and your own game plan [Applause] [Music] deth wonderful support there from herat St just his fifth test cap the verticon Bulls player down jackler in position one uh 17 straight off your feet and now adds another three so back into an eight-point lead 74th test cap for H poad over thep from the spring box on the bounce Advantage together from C Ki another Advantage for the spring box as etth makes the carry Williams the r low coming around the corner Ruan noia popped out the back by Marx yeah Tom off going to be an official warning now just Captain Scott three penalties so far for Sasha feberg and Gulu taken his Telly in his young test career to 42 and that now becomes 45 debut against Wales twicken him 2 4 S 15 over the top from Cody Taylor McKenzie there's a two onone here for Bowden Barrett and Clark will go in unopposed it's a fourth try for the All Blacks a second for Caleb Clark brilliant execution Again full width of the field used off the back of a line up that went over the top and a Sit pH moved well executed black out sucks the Defenders and this is where it happened the magic that ball behind the back there's a short Runner then the springbox narrow in defense with that line speed it creates space on the outside for Caleb Clark he goes over big play Big Moment fantastic execution [Applause] and the All Blacks get over the [Applause] line 10 points the difference for the kick to come and of course New Zealand now in bonus Point position having four tries to one and just as the clock was running down Damen McKenzie approached the ball and puts wide still plenty of time and his passing Lane was shut down he puts in the cross kick for Jesse creel gets away from his man committed and onto the bot no leg tackle says the referee and he said it early now the counter is on now FY giving Chase to his own kick and Gathering brilliant from FY puts the kick in Jesse creel gives Chase but Jordan does brilliantly to control on the ground and his chip over the top read by Sasha fber and Gulu no no no no no Garrett and McKenzie chased down but getting his pass away beautiful hands from Taylor and then to B Jordan hasn't had a great deal of opportunity out on his right wing this evening things opening up for him now McKenzie Jordy Barrett 50 is it just really brilliant execution clever from the old blacks carry from Taylor then McKenzie coming around the corner excellent tackle on Rico Yani off the singing through and Smith away with the ball k out the back brilliant from po now FY kobby to his left puts it on the boot Here Comes chesen Kobe and just beaten to the touch line by the [Applause] ball put in there more one care towards the tail one start sideways one moving sideways so stop call but Malcolm marks still in control as the spring box go forward still moving and still moving forward suddenly the crowd in Johannesburg finds their voice penalty Advantage being shown here okay hands in the pocket 18 changing ball swing he thought he had come through the middle one stop and then it was speaking to the as he came through there but too many penalties in this area and you can see a clear momentum shift got to make this one count South Africa and then we are in for a spicy final 10 again it's no K the target excellent work from the All Blacks at first don't change six and marks breaking away slightly impeded by the referee at first Williams no foul play fallen down DET toy endless energy picked up away now watch ches and kby filling in it half away forth they're close to the line no over the go qu Smith what a try against Australia in Brisbane and now has a third against the O down to the grme from the spring box from the mall this time pick and go pick and go inch by inch and the hole opened up for quaka Smith but he did well there his body position is incredibly blow close to the ground and explosive two over went the spring box a fighting back but sets up this now for South Africa a triy to take the lead no contest on the throw s more keep it up and towards the line they go a little isolated last feet players in there to clean the rock detoy Advantage offside another penalty Advantage offside Advantage Nick carry just a meter short and Williams the spring box hit the front through Grant Williams's third [Applause] try Emirates Airline Park in Johannesburg AA that's the pcture of the set piece from the spring box New Zealand conceding penalties but this time just working short the hole head opened up gront Williams ran this time he backed himself The Defenders drifted off him but you go to go back to Sasha fber and go mauli's kick how important was that on the 5 meter pressure and two points massive kick as well to get them ahead by four will'll chase him down but he is [Applause] [Music] undeterred we promise you an epic and these two teams have delivered was all New Zealand for so much of the opening quarter of the game but the spring bxs have found a way to get the job [Applause] done full time at Emirates Airline Park in Johannesburg South Africa 31 New Zealand 27 [Applause]
