That's the question, isn't it, Alastair?

South Africa have gone all out at 110%. But the scores are still level.

The Springbok Women win themselves a scrum 10 metres out.

Aphiwe Ngwevu is not a conventional inside centre, the South Africa 12 is basically an extra forward.

I wonder if they can keep up this intensity?

Penalty number seven.

South Africa continue to knock on the door. But still no points to show for their dominance over the World Champions.

There is going to have to be a point where they have racked up too many penalties and someone will go to the bin.

A sixth penalty to South Africa. They kick for the corner.

Ah, so nearly! South Africa try something different with a kick to the right wing, but there's too much meat on the pass and the ball loops into touch.

South Africa's possession has gone up to 82%. New Zealand have made 45 tackles so far. South Africa have only had to make three.

No points yet but you can't keep your eyes off this game. It's all South Africa.

A long line-out takes South Africa to within five. But New Zealand then benefit from a slow release. Penalty.

Tactically, South Africa are thinking 'how can we suffocate the Black Ferns?'

Another maul brings a huge roar from the South Africa supporters! That tactic is working.

I've looked up to New Zealand coaching box and they do not seem very pleased...

80% possession and 60% territory for South Africa after 10 minutes.

South Africa get out of that New Zealand-caused hole very easily.

All 15 South Africa players then end up in a driving maul following a line-out on halfway. Incredible forward-focused tactics from the Springbok Women, and right now New Zealand are fazed.

New Zealand are scary. A really good kick in behind pins South Africa way back into their own 22.

The Black Ferns are waking up.

New Zealand kick the ball high and back to South Africa again who are happy to have long spells on the ball.

The Black Ferns have hardly had any possession.

A quick ice pack to the neck and Hele is good to go again.

Play restarts but South Africa fumble a brilliant scoring chance, and New Zealand win a defensive scrum.

A wasted chance.

Another South Africa penalty as Aseza Hele is stopped two metres out. Time stops to allow Hele to get some treatment for a head injury.

Expect a lot of maul play from South Africa. With seven forwards on the bench, the power will just keep coming.

They simply can't compete with New Zealand's backs, but can through pure power.

A well controlled scrum. That was a soft penalty there.

South Africa are within five. What a start!
