36-7 at half-time. Six All Blacks tries in forty minutes. In front of 73,399 people at Stadium Australia.
Here’s the number that explains it: Australia lost the ball 19 times and won it back 3. New Zealand lost it 10 and won it back 6 — and turned almost every one of those into points. A missed lineout became a Fabian Holland steal became a Rieko Ioane try. A loose Max Jorgensen pass became Bea...
Australia led the world champions by 25 points with twelve minutes to go. Then four Wallabies were sent to the bin in six minutes. Harry Wilson on seventy. Ryan Lonergan a minute later, with a penalty try against him. Then Sua'ali'i.
Then Paisami on seventy-six. Eleven men in gold, defending their own line, against a full-strength Bomb Squad. South Africa scored 21 unanswered points in the last twelve minutes. Australia held. 42-38...
South Africa came out of this series on 95.09 rating points — the highest any team has ever recorded, in 23 years of world rankings. Higher than any of their three World Cup wins.
And yet across four Tests the All Blacks scored more tries than they did.
43-28 in Baltimore, ten tries in a series decider, and a record American crowd of 68,173. Andrew Mehrtens — 70 Tests and 967 point...
Before a ball was kicked in this series, Jim Hamilton said the All Blacks could beat South Africa in one Test — but they would not win a series. Three Tests later, that is precisely what has happened.
South Africa beat New Zealand 29-24 at a packed FNB Stadium in Soweto to go 2-1 up in Rugby's Greatest Rivalry. They lost Cheslin Kolbe to a broken jaw inside ten minutes, went 12-5 down, and still foun...
Last week South Africa got 0.9 points every time they entered the All Blacks' 22. In Cape Town they got four. That's the whole Test match. The Springboks won 33-26 to level Rugby's Greatest Rivalry at 1-1 — while scoring fewer tries than New Zealand. Kolbe kicked seven from seven. Kolisi returned, captained and scored.
And then Rassie Erasmus and Dave Rennie went to war over the scrum. George Gregan and John Smit are joined b...
Welcome to the first episode of I Love Rugby hosted by George Gregen and John Smit. South Africa 16, New Zealand 33 — and almost none of it made sense.
The Springboks won the scrum, the possession and the carries at Ellis Park, and lost by 17. Hosts George Gregen and John Smit are joined by Justin Marshall — 81 Tests for the All Blacks, the most try-scoring halfback in New Zealand history with 24, and one of the most re...
