Let's hope for a snappier affair after the break!

It's red.

Now then.
Scott Barrett could be in trouble here. He has already had a yellow card but he decides to fly into a reckless clear out.
Surely a red?

Kurt-Lee Arendse (con Manie Libbok)
Too easy.
Jordie Barrett makes a slight break in the midfield but his offload is loose and straight into the grateful hands of Kurt-Lee Arendse.
You're not stopping him from there and it's an easy second try for the Boks as Manie Libbok adds a simple conversion from in front of the posts.

That's what you pay the money to see.
New Zealand begin to grow into the game and throw the ball around in midfield.
But Canan Moodie is on hand to intercept and quickly release the pass to Damian Willemse, who decides to kick it away.
Lovely hands by the young centre.

Andre Esterhuizen has looked threatening with ball in hand this evening but he has just exposed a gap in the All Black defence.
The big Harlequins centre is eventually hauled down by a covering Richie Mo'unga but that was some run.

How has he missed that?
New Zealand finally get down the other end and have a relatively comfortable shot at goal to reduce the deficit.
But Richie Mo'unga's penalty comes back off the post and New Zealand are still not off the mark.

A terrifying sight!
