Classic clashes: Breyton rubs salt in All Blacks’ wounds

With the Springboks and All Blacks champing at the bit for the start of the 2022 Rugby Championship, here’s a look back to 1999 when an opportunistic Breyton Paulse try helped South Africa claim World Cup bronze in Cardiff.  

In a repeat of the epic 1995 final at Ellis Park, South Africa and New Zealand met again in the 1999 World Cup, only this time after the disappointment of crashing out of the semi-finals.

It was the Boks who seemed to want third place more, with Paulse brilliantly dotting down in the first half for the only try of the match, while Percy Montgomery scored a long-range drop goal early on – one of two for the fullback on the night – which bounced over off the crossbar. 

Andrew Mehrtens’ boot kept the Kiwis within touching distance throughout, but Henry Honiball was just as deadly from the kicking tee and, in the end, the Boks triumphed to make it two wins in as many World Cup matches against the All Blacks.

All Blacks Rugby boss Mark Robinson refuses to endorse

New Zealand Rugby boss Mark Robinson has refused to suggest Ian Foster's future as All Blacks head train. A matter of hours after the All Blacks' dramatic 35-23 reaction at Ellis Park snapped their three-sport losing run, Robinson fronted media via Zoom in a weird press convention in which he outlined Foster's destiny will be decided as soon as the team arrives domestic early next week, however provided no other perception into the possibly final results. http://plus.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fbroncosvsseahawks.com%2F http://maps.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fbroncosvsseahawks.com%2F http://plus.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fbroncosvsseahawks.com%2F http://maps.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fbroncosvsseahawks.com%2F https://images.google.co.nz/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fbroncosvsseahawks.com%2F https://maps.google.co.nz/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fbroncosvsseahawks.com%2F https://images.google.de/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fbroncosvsseahawks.com%2F https://plus.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2F...

What to do with the All Blacks No 12 jersey?

Image
Why Quinn Tupaea is the man for the All Blacks No 12 jersey The fact that David Havili was amongst the chosen 11 to fly early to Cardiff ahead of this weekend’s test with Wales is a solid indicator that he will slot into the second-five position then, as he has done to, mostly, good effect for much of 2021.  Ireland v New Zealand Rugby Quinn Tupaea is just five tests and three starts into his young All Blacks career but already he looks the man to start in the internationals against Ireland and France later on this tour. Jack Goodhue may come again when back from injury in 2022 but, for now, Tupaea looms as the best man to punch holes in the opposition line and help break down the rush defence that so exposed the All Blacks against the Springboks. Funnily enough, 12 is not even Tupaea’s favoured position. That is centre, but Anton Lienert-Brown and/or Rieko Ioane are first cabs off the rank there in black. Havili has acquitted himself well for the All Blacks this season, especially...

New Zealand U20 score in dying minutes to draw with South Africa U20

Image
Staff members from Sunshine Coast Stadium were on the pitch with leaf blowers and brooms an hour and a half before the inaugural Rugby Championship U20 match began, attempting to clear the numerous puddles that covered the pitch. The "Sunshine Coast" had delivered some less than ideal weather for the historic event, but the rain stopped as the teams passed the big, gleaming trophy. With 90 seconds remaining, South Africa had a narrow lead thanks to a scoring spurt in the third quarter, setting up a historically close test between the two well-known rivals. The kickoff demonstrated the difficulty of the conditions; the drop kick hardly cleared the turf, resulting in a shaky kick that drifted into the path of Liam Jack of New Zealand. During the first scrum,  New Zealand  was awarded a penalty; however, a misdirected throw by the referee cost the Kiwis their first lineout. Every step sent water spraying off the pitch, and each catch required focus, resulting in a lot of kicks...
