the city of capet town today plays host to a test match between the springbox and the All Blacks for the first time since 2017 and for the very first time at the DHL Stadium built ahead of the 2010 FIFA World Cup [Music] please kicks deep onto yasova who made a stunning return to test rugby last week after six matches on the sideline and over the top from Jordan searis play on no part in last week's match 23 Crusaders Winger [Applause] Sati good contest kisi cleaned off at just in the neck of time here's tiia and Cody Taylor dindi goes low no attempt over the ball from the spring ratima Low Max and tup for the third time in the move with a strong carry Yani McKenzie and Jordan tackle from Colby and the springwalk had the turnover Laro puts it on the boot for chase them kby the chase there for me and into touch they go as we saw in Johannesburg a superb defensive set from the spring box early on Cody Taylor goes over the 15 [Applause] kanei with the [Applause] tackle Ari savier KN for Cody Taylor rumaging his way towards the line scored the first one in Johannesburg last week penalty Advantage for the McKenzie green eight tack Jordy Barrett and then Savia once again number eight what a game Cody Taylor's having tack on the 22 me area to is a dangerous place toed aen so involved in the early stages G penalty here am I on the correct Mark well you'd have to say that's a a penalty based on the fact that the old blacks had made such a positive line break they had the spring box scrambling back defensively if he doesn't slow that ball down then there's opportunity is lost so the referee's gone straight to the yellow card interesting decision now facing the All Blacks with the spring box down a man do they Bank the points or do they want more look at the line break from Cody Taylor the foot and also tackle you can see there on Cortez ratama who was the support player that's what the guard was given for was a c to upal fussy early in the game last week in Johannesburg raised a couple of eyebrows head injury as a result of his head hit in the ground going to say the tackle I've called on the ball nothing else to say otherwise what a quick start I think hit his head on the turf there ini I thought he might have been winded when you got down land on the wall you get winded a bit so they're having a quick look at him he looks okay Cody Taylor now just looking back at that replay there can be no question at all about the cynical nature of the fou play the early tackle on ratar who was water off please running the perfect scrum off support line go time on Kick and go water off please jent thank you [Music] a start has full of action what else would we have expected perfect perect some have said during the week that they thought the spring box with their selection po at 10 and laru at 15 might try and play a more tactical kicking game but in there 44 seconds had the better of The Possession so far in the game and very much dictating the terms [Applause] Andre poad inside things [Music] started started both test matches against Ireland earlier in the year this his first start in the rugby Championship Sasha fineberg and Gomez Hulu having done the job oh there's some contact in the air there okay penalty out of me at the moment that's a definite penalty we just want to see how Lander okay it could be more I think it should be more are you okay it's your responsibility as that player to protect the ball carrier if you make any form of movement that compromises that what seu Reese does that's a level of danger it is usually an automatic yellow agree yellow card number 11 or 14 14 it's going to be a yellow card for SE R him up Jordy Barrett gr Williams went nice and low n on the side while six jacked legally r n on the wrong side and McKenzie with plenty of time remaining on the shot clock it's a you the assist tackler never clearly released and no release P 14 14 kicks at the Rugby World Cup when he was B in asement sorry for me S SS for halim well there more points available here for the All Blacks yet another carry for Wallace Sati far number five good and McKenzie BS the three half time in Cape Town it's South Africa 3 New Zealand 9 on hre poad has the second half underway straight down the middle and Jordy Barrett hunted down by Kanan Moody both players with theth in Hot Pursuit use it cititi breaking away brilliantly it rat saing to kick off the left boot brilliant from V Laro that off the hand of Rico Yani and Matt KY just a knock on for me live on the halfway the opportunity for South Africa to let something unfold here offload from visa and laru Deli top carrier for the spring box in the first 40 Damen dindi but another breakdown penalty it looks like there's 15 fetches on the for the All Blacks at the moment and is that is it that you know the Rival are going to get there quickly but Barrett we've seen still Cody Taylor's thr in a ball you know Mark tier has been in the mix somewhere sati's been in the mix at the breakdown it's just the reaction sometimes of the South African players almost waiting for the offload rather than going towards that the urgency to get to that player clean him while is still in the air and get him down so you need urgency there to get in there bars there a lot quicker a lot lot quicker [Applause] wow the extra roll cost dindi there didn't it but just with that extra little pivot on the ground it just gave and bought a little bit of time for Scott Barrett to get in there present that he was on his feet and affect the turnover right man this would have to be I would suggest at the very very end of Damen McKenzie's range but he's backing [Applause] himself about 56 m on this kick lots of height on it coming down quite a long way short in the end and chasby makes the clearance kick not into touch will Jordan wow and finds R perfectly RS backwards see Ki the man in possession there Williams stendy straight at Jordi bar [Applause] driving the legs through the tackle of Aris Savia Williams again marks and then Ki the man who said he would stop at nothing to play in this game it's the first try of the match and parad puts the spring box in front for the first time in the game telling carry from El rlo and chair out the back F and fber and Gulu all play on 14 what that kick was uh almost hitting backwards from Sasha fber and Gulu and A call came from the assistant referee [Applause] was is it trading back yes it is what an entry it's been to International Rugby Sasha fireberg and [Music] GZ McKenzie Jordan BR L went low to bring down his opposite number [Applause] T Advantage penalty advantage to New Zealand out the back from Sam Kane McKenzie looking for Rico Yani gets away from kby chased down by fber and Gulu [Applause] clear it off the back as the scrum went down in the front row McKenzie taking it towards um perfectly timed pass and Barrett he has put his arm out there vly Laro he could very well find himself being yellow carded here [Music] tup taking one on the South African throw quickly shifted away here's Bowden Barrett with SE re to his right inside Ball is for San Kan tackle Panara McKenzie at the back from Taylor Jordy Barrett ster comes tackle oh McKenzie inexplicably when people are on the wrong side let's not get green when people are on the wrong side let's not get [Applause] green little dink over the top and Chas and kby is taken out in his [Applause] Chase okay well it's t LX number three number three just changes his angle to impede chasen kby three good Contest no here at the front it was a fantastic contest backwards on that throw One backwards call from Matt Kylie but then marks with ball in hand play on the floor there gets away and over he goes Mal marks 20th test try of 15 against New Zealand got two against Australia in Perth and now another in the rugby Championship yeah it's those big moments isn't it that more going in towards the side but going nowhere from here it almost collapses there's a collapse here Malcolm marks picks his movement correctly I found the time do we know how long the been we need to stay on the time okay yeah it's an interesting point being made by Matthew KY because that's for you tyell LX remains in the S bin but if uh they keep the ball alive long enough and perhaps get another penalty where there's a stoppage in play he might be able to get back on Cody Taylor with a throw and Peter step to to gets up to make the steel Ruan boots it into the [Applause] stand and the spring box Prevail thank you once again full time in Cape Town South Africa 18 New Zealand [Applause] 12 for
