Didn’t deserve to win, but by crickey I’ll take it

Boks attack went to sleep and we started playing down the right end in that last 10.

Fuck you world rugby.

Aura is back baby

[Tordah]

wow those last ten minutes, where have they been all game? Most exciting match of the RC.

[Stargazer]

How disappointed all those NH scribes must be!

Richie at 10 is great for the attack because he plays direct and add TJP who speeds the game up. It’s a good combo

[Unite]

Bloody hell, hard luck Springboks. Pretty amazing come back really seeing how ordinary they played for most of the match.

Hopefully the All Blacks take a lot of learnings from that.

I would like to start a petition that rugby games be shortened from 80 min to 70 min! Any seconds in the room?

[MajorRage]

Tears in eyes. Unbelievable.

[dejo]

Yes!

Bench was unreal - Savea, Patty T, Mounga and TJP all had a huge impact. It was like the 14-15 bench where they just hit a switch and changed the game on a dime.

Bender did a couple of things in that 55-70 minute period that stopped that game from getting out of control.

Nicely done - very reminiscent of a Bledisloe in Brisbane 2010, where they pretty effortlessly scored two pick and go tries late after being hopeless the entire game.

comiserations, but you should try and rejoice about the huge improvement the Boks have made in the last 12 months, clearly right up there

[Rebound]

Can we get rid of all these shit refs that seem to be hell-bent on being the reason the ABs lose. I mean God there has been way too many just not even Borderline calls. Just beyond home town bias. But that just make this win so much better

@booboo

Strength in depth, I reckon.

A lot of the second-stringers have built up some great experience of tough matches, rather than come on when the game is won.

Mo’unga 10 Barrett 15 please

‘Twas the difference.

Wifey went to bed at 61 mins (30-13)

So did mine, still 4am over here so I can't blame her.

[Billy Tell]

Also maybe TJP should start??

I'm on that train now. Mo'unga looks made for test footy and Beauden loves space. Also solves the right wing problem.

He seems to have more space back there. I would like to see it in the dead rubber game.

Reminder that this South African team lost to Argentina and Australia this year.

That was a lucky escape for a team whose defence was static, and ball carrying was rubbish until the last 10 minutes.

Lets forget about Frizzell at 6 please.

@billy-tell Against South Africa? Every time. Smith is too small for them.
