South Africa held on against 14-man New Zealand to retain the trophy
A monumental victory in a tournament they’ve won with an aggregate winning margin in the knockouts of THREE POINTS. They are the absolute masters of the tiniest but mightiest moments.
Kolbe catches it and goes for a drop goal from basically in Lille it’s so far out, and it drops way short.Christie punts a box kick towards the Bok 22 that Kolbe claims for De Klerk to return the favour from his boot. Beauden Barrett comes forward to take it, but he bounces it off his hard hands. From the resulting scrum the Boks can’t secure possession and NZ are back on the ball in opposition territory.Prior to the Savea knock-on Etzebeth had played the arm in the lineout, so NZ have a penalty that they put into the corner to go at the line once more. The ball is worked left to Talea who forces through a couple of tackles before shovelling an offload onto the grass that Barrett reaches first to dive over.NZ have been denied an absolutely wonderful try.
