A mesmerizing contest with a sizzling early pace set by the All Blacks, ferocious battle at the breakdown won by the Springboks, scintillating offloads by either side for their first tries and breathtaking lines by either side for their second tries. The home side couldn’t make 3rd quarter territory count and a late Richie McCaw score off a clever lineout move pinched the spoils. Hard to see how these two won’t face each other in RWC semifinal on October 24.
