PlanetRugby & official SANZAAR sites both have 15. Lambie, too.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Kickbot 9-5 NZ.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

No way that's a try, TJP clearly loses it & it rolls forward before he regains it & dots it down. We'll take it, tho, NZ 12-9 SA.

 

[Slim 293]

The TMO must be watching the game on a lower res stream than I........ that's some call.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

TMO gets that one right. HT NZ 12-9 SA. AB making plenty of handling errors but SA falling off tackles, if we can improve our accuracy this could get ugly for the Bokke. Also they're kicking away every scrap of possession & most've the kicks ain't that great, Dagg's try started with a Naholo break after an aimless kick & there's been several others that Smith, Dagg & Naholo have returned with interest.

 

[Slim 293]

Boks going for that outdated 2009 gameplan of kicking everything away............

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

20 phases inside their 22 & the Bokke finally crack, Beaugan misses again so NZ 17-9 SA. Bonus Point try, too.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Kickbot finally passes it.... to Lambie.... who kicks it..... straight to Barrett under no pressure whatsoever. Jaysus this is dire shit from the Bokke.

AB offside, kickbot does the biz, 17-12.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Lambie forced to kick 'cos no one inside him straightened the play or drew a defender, Lienert-Brown charges it down & toes it ahead, Barrett scores but again can't convert. NZ 22-12 SA.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Someone musta swapped the balls at half time, passes now sticking & TJP finishes it off. Barrett gets one! NZ 29-15 SA into the last 20.

 

[ACR]

Terrific 5th try. If Barrett could kick a little straighter it would already be a blow out. SA spends 3 seconds the whole game in the 22, 10 point behind, still chooses the penalty. Silly bastards.

 

[ACR]

77% posession, 73% territory, 65 mins in.

Leinert-Brown has been quality.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

^^^^^ true but Lurch has been a machine, gotta be MOTM.

OMG! a bok (Le Roux) just ran the ball when the kick was on. He'll surely get dropped for that

 

[ACR]

True, Retallick epic, old world player of the year standard.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

de Jager shows his class again. See ya, doos.

Codie Taylor over from the resulting drive, Sopoaga converts for 43-15. Still time to bring up 50, guys.......

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Nek minnit...... Smith finishes it, 50-15. Still time to equal the record (55), guys......

 

[Upthenuts]

and wallaby fans are upset at their attack, lol boys it could be far worse

 

[zer0]

Frustrating at first, satisfying at the end.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Squire gets one after the siren so Sopoaga from the sideline for the record. Gets it! FT 57-15 & AB have re-equaled (it's a word, OK) the Tier 1 record for most consecutive Test wins. Sorry Straya, you just might get to be the answer to the future pub sports trivia question "who did the All Blacks beat to record their 18th consecutive Test victory in 2016?"

Was that 10 tries or 9? Lost count towards the end they were coming so fast.....
