Springboks win 29-24.
The Boks controlled the 2nd half well in critical areas and critical times to seal this test.
The All Blacks had their opportunities in both halves but again failed to take them. Ruben Love missing 3 kicks at goal, Will Jordan kicking the ball dead and two Leroy Carter defensive lapses that lead to two Springboks tries were costly errors.
Malcolm Marx once again played a critical role in the Boks win by dominating the breakdown and scoring a crucial driving maul try.
Congrats to Tupou Vaa'i for playing his 50th test today.
We now move to Baltimore USA for the finale of the Greatest Rivalry series next week.
