I think they are out-superlativing Marto and co.

Here's 3 points for the Saffers.
Deliberate knockdown by Kaino, 24 metres out directly in front. Pollard does the honours.
SAF 24 NZL 13. 47 minutes.

Looks like we'll be playing for territory this half. 40 minutes is way too long to try and close out an 8(11) point lead vs. the All Blacks.

Head clash Oh Shit and Thrush. Thrush comes of worst. One tough mudder is SAF #8.

Oopa off. Schalk on. Will he have the same impact that he did last week?
Looks like the Battleship has been replaced by Strausse.
NZL Penalty 25 metres out from line directly in front, and NZL opt for scrum. Interesting, NZL passing up 3 gift points.

JP Peterson on for Hendricks. SAF sub.
Faumuina on for Franks. NZL sub.
Try to the Darkness? Didn't look like it. Going upstairs for TMO. Saved by Saffers. Crowd happy.

All the Saffer loosies offside there. Unbound well before the ball came out.
Kaino off and Luatua on for NZL. 60 minutes.

Brick wall defence from Saffers, but JdV pinged for deliberate knock down.
#3, #4, #10 off for Saffers. Lambie, Bakkies and Van Der Merwe on.
Sir Ritchie GOAT turns down another 3 point gift. Will this prove decisive at the end of the day as The Darkness fail to score again. 6 points gone begging.
New halfback for Saffers, as Hougaard replaced (Reinarch).

That's cause Greg played for Uni
I find the Kiwi commentators great until the Blacks are under pressure.

You realise that we'll be pissed if we lose this game, and you're going to cop it in Brisbane

Duane Vermeulen is playing OUTSTANDING football of late. Easily one of the best in the world.

Finally some Meat for the Darkness as B Smith gets the pill from C Smith, step, step and meat. 66 minutes gone. Beaguan Barrett adds two extra points.
SAF 24 NZL 20. 66 minutes gone.
NZL have replaced A Smith with TKB at halfback.

Hard to think of anyone pipping him for IRB player of the year. Certainly won't be from Nthn Hemisphere.

This is what I was afraid of. Not trying to score points but trying to defend instead.
And the first attacks we've had under Reinach/Lambie have been extremely static. Hougaard/Pollard was way more dynamic.

That lineout steal by Whitelock might prove vital, and it does. Dane Coles gets meat in the corner to take the lead for the first time.
Beaugan Barrett lines up the conversion from the touchline and can't do it. NZL 25 SAF 24. 8 minutes left.
Beast replaced for SAF.
Shizzen. That slow mo of TKB knee was felt in Chez Jarse. OUCH OUCH OUCH.
But he looks like staying on. That will hurt.
The Darkness are like Napoleons Army on the retreat from Moscow in 1812.
TKB off and Slade on. Who is the half for Black?

Lambie misses DK to try to take the lead. Is that game to The Darkness? 4 minutes left.
SAF bench made a big difference last week. Perhaps not so this week. Not sure it was so wise to replace Pollard this week.
Meanwhile Messum looks like he is in trouble for a shoulder charge on Schalk B.
Crowd very unhappy with each replay. Barnsey awards PK to the Saffers 51 metres out. Can Lambie do it?
AS if. 2 minutes to go. Lambie and 57 million Saffers happy as he drills it easily. SAF 27 NZL 25 with 1 1/2 minutes left.
Barnes probably not welcome back in NZ.. Shades of 2007 1/4 final.
Siren sounds. Thats the game.

That's it, sound off. Can't bear the commentary.
