Excuses
This write-up is a bit rushed/transient/late on account of a swarm of bees needing to be handled for many of the morning (actually). Fortunately they have been only a swarm of employee bees on reconnaissance for a brand new nest location – in one of many partitions of the Yowie home. With no queen moved in but, the swarm shall be lured right into a newly-placed hive field over the following week or so. The closest beekeeper to our place is a dead-set legend.
First Half
The White Collar Criminals (thanks Hambone) Received off to a powerful begin At about 2 minutes in, hammering the Bok defence with fourteen phases earlier than Damian McKenzie despatched the ball to Ardie Savea (8) loitering a bit too near sideline and tacked out.
5 minutes in, the ABs have been hammering the Boks’ purple zone once more earlier than a Sam Kane knock-on introduced an finish to that passage of play (with a Yellow Card to Bok 15 Aphelele Fassi for coming into from the fallacious facet and stopping the cross from being made).
By about 6:45 an AB lineout had Codie Taylor (2) throw to Ardie Savea, then rating himself off the ensuing maul.
Grinning Eejit transformed to make the rating 0:7 to the Nuns.
To not be outdone within the hooker one-man-show bragging comp, at 16 minutes Bongi Mbonambi threw the Bok lineout and (off the maul) scored himself in line with the game-day officers, albeit with suspect grounding and a few New Zealand chagrin. Conversion unsuccessful. Boks 5:7 NZ.
At 28 minutes the biltong-munchers added some extras with a protracted penalty shot at purpose. 8:7.
At about 31 minutes AB 11 Caleb Clarke scored off turnover ball that went via the palms to get to Clarke. McKenzie missed the conversion. Boks 8:12 AB.
At 36 minutes the Boks stayed in contact with a 3-pointer. 11:12.

Second Half
Within the first minute of the second half, a brief Springbok lineout then through-the-hands obtained turned in opposition to them when Jordie Barret took an intercept to attain subsequent to the posts. McKenzie transformed to make it 11:19 to the fleece-fanciers.
By 44 minutes Rassie stunned no one by rotating on the so-called bomb squad. After a little bit of red-zone hammering the Inexperienced Machine added one other 3 factors to make it 14:19.
The Kiwis repaid the favour at 46 minutes with 3 factors of their very own courtesy of some Boks off their toes. 14:22.
To not be out-done, at 48 minutes Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu (SA10) kicked three for the NZ tacklers not rolling away. 17:22.
All these penalties have been a bit unbecoming of Southern Hemisphere operating rugby, so NZ secured the ball from their line-out, despatched it extensive and put Caleb Clarke over because of an overlap. McKenzie’s conversion try was extensive. 17:27.
From 67 minutes the momentum was again with the inexperienced & white with a maul, penalty and yellow card to AB17 Ofa Tu’ungafasi. A Bok lineout and some pick-and-goes (or “picks and go” like governors basic?) later and Mr Good-looking himself, Kwagga Smith, scored below the cross-bar.
After a profitable conversion, the Saffas have been closing in at 25:27.
At 73 minutes a SA lineout 5 metres out produced a diving attempt to little-bloke Grant Williams to offer the house staff the lead. 31:27 after the conversion. The rating didn’t transfer by full time.
Officiating
Among the many GAGR writing staff, the officiating was not universally applauded. Eloise thought-about that a minimum of half of South Africa’s factors got here from the ref and assistants, even stunning the native commentators.
Brisneyland Native thought-about the officiating of this sport to be a pointy reversal of the final Rugby Championship good commonplace.
