So it's a draw... | New Zealand 16 - 16 South Africa | The Squidge Report

The two teams who can't be separated. After an aggregate score of 64-64 in their two tests last year, New Zealand and South Africa fought out an impossibly tight draw on Saturday, setting the scene perfectly for a World Cup rematch. So how did the two teams tackle their pool opponents just 55 days from that game in Yokohama?

Incidentally according to Chasing the Sun, the short documentary on the interviews of the Boks leading up to the World Cup and then the WC Final, Rassie said of this game that he didnt want the players to be adventurous but rather play conservatively in order to keep a losing bonus point and hopefully winning the Rugby Championship. However, Jacques Nienaber said that the players preferred to ignore that decision by Erasmus and play the last play of the match which yielded the draw.

[@mikedangerdoes]

Wait a minute. Was that pass from Le Roux forward? I didn't notice at the time but you played it back so often now it looks like it drifts forward. Kolbe has to stretch out to get it, even. Shit the more I look at it the more forward it is. Starts at the S and ends after the A.

[@mcpac7359]

NZ was not clinical enough but their defence was better than it has been, very solid. On attack, it was 28 vs 11 defenders beaten, 16 vs 4 clean line breaks but 19 turnovers conceded vs 13 (3 of them potential scoring opportunities). Reduce the dropsies and convert more opportunities and they'll put a lot of pressure on most teams
