SA 32 - NZ 29

Wow. What a finish. I was at the deciding Tr-Nations rugby game last night - and finally got to see the Springboks win a game! The previous times I've watched the Boks live have been in Brisbane, where they play decidedly hopelessly for some unknown reason.
Anyway, the Bok lineout was good as usual, the scrum was very good (except for the first couple) and Frans Steyn kicking penalties from around 60m was simply stunning. The All Blacks didn't sit down and give up though - they kept on coming back. And the crowd was right into it at the finish - very very noisy indeed. A big contrast to the rather boring Aussie rugby crowds!
