Match Commentary

81'In reality, the Boks didn't do really anything in the match but played the conditions and pressuriesd and tackled the All Blacks. New Zealand simply made mistakes under pressure. In openside flanker Heinrich Brussow the Boks have a real find. I hope you enjoyed the match and see you next time with scrum.com
