The Springboks responded with a try by Bongi Mbonambi, but penalties and yellow cards disrupted the flow for both teams. The All Blacks led 12-11 at halftime, but their discipline issues proved costly.

Despite holding a 10-point lead in the second half, the All Blacks struggled with penalties, conceding 14 to the Springboks’ five. When Ofa Tu’ungafasi received a yellow card in the 68th minute, the Springboks capitalised. Kwagga Smith and Grant Williams scored late tries to seal the victory.
