Personally I think New Zealand have been the better side. They've shown far more attacking intent since half time than South Africa. Unfortunately, breaking through the South Africa backline is amongst the toughest challenges in sport.

I could do with Wayne Smith on my shoulder.

The scrum will be reset...

Aaron Smith is in tears on the NZ bench. It's a scrum. Any error here is terminal.

He hasn't watched since he went in the bin. It's his birthday as well!

All Blacks I take my hat off to you.
We are seeing images of Cheslin Kolbe with his jersey over his head and he cannot take it anymore.

Time is off, there's an injury. My word this is tense!

Kwagga Smith turns the ball over for South Africa. They're so close to another title...

New Zealand are all over the show.

A drop goal would do it for the All Blacks of course. They have the ball, they do not have the time. They are in their own half.

Unbelievable play from both teams. Pieter-Steph Du Toit has made 27 tackles on his own which is unbelievable.

A win is a win. If aliens landed tomorrow and challenged earth to a game, I know who I'd be asking to represent us all.

Andrew: At the moment South Africa have a +3 aggregate score across the quarter-final, semi-final and final.

South Africa are now ending brightly. Cheslin Kolbe in the bin can't watch, shirt high over his head...

New Zealand don't need to force it. This is the ultimate pressure cooker for rugby.
New Zealand 11-12 South Africa
South Africa are the masters of this domain of course.
They beat France by a point.
They beat England by a point.
They lead the final. By a point. And they now have a scrum.

Jordie Barrett was always going to have the distance, it is a great effort.
New Zealand are still at the right side of the paddock!
