Hmm opinions vary...

Yes South Africa did win, and yes they definitey played better than the first test but the All Blacks actually scored more tries, which helped secure the bonus point.

The main deciding factor was Cheslin Kolbe's boot, 7 for 7 off the tee is tidy and carried SA through based on the 33-26 scoreline, an he was a late replacement for Kurt-Lee, so Rassie got lucky there 😎

After playing possum in the the first test Rassie wheeled out all the big experienced muscle for the second test. SA was rudderless first time around but with Kolisi back they looked like they had a bit of a plan.

You can't knock it, Rugby Union isn't just a game of skill it's also a game of strength, with all the heavy front row muscle back, scrum and maul was the order of the day. Marx is an animal and his break down antics along with Kriel was a pain in the ass for the All Blacks in the second half.

I'm not seeing it right now, SA is all muscle and individual performances, but the All Blacks have showed some real invention and team tries already.

Fingers crossed all the big names remain uninjured and can hang in there to keep the contest entertaining. All Blacks have clearly decided they're going to throw the big names at it from day dot. Curious to see how the final match goes in Baltimore, SA probably enjoying the home turf advantage, different ball game playing in USA far from home.

Praying some analysis gets done in the All Black camp to negate the SA muscle up front or we could see a raft of mauls and scrum penalties used to scratch out a victory come the fourth test. Fine for the purists, a win is a win but some of us wanna see some tasty tries with some real flair to get the crowd going 😎
