Social media reacts to the electrifying match

@MhlonishwaDube:

"Tough outing for the boks,they did so well for most parts of the game especially if this all blacks managed to score just one try. Proud of Siya and the boys hopefully we can bounce back next week.❤"

@MartynMCGrath:

"An absolute blinder of a game, Siya was utterly immense and we could easily have won that. That's what a Springboks vs All Blacks test is supposed to be. Two points in it, absolute arm wrestle. Boks back to their strengths - bring on next week! #NZLvRSA100 #NZLvRSA."

@Bongani_Momoti:

"I think the Boks really do not have faith in their attacking play! They generate so much go forward momentum, we have powerful ferocious forwards yet we don't use them! It's like our boys get anxious when they (Faf & pollard) have to attack!! #NZLvRSA100."

"NZ won't be happy with that performance but credit to the Boks for forcing more errors out of the ABs than they've probably made all season combined #NZLvRSA100."

Benni McCarthy reportedly disrespected older players in the AmaZulu squad

Earlier, Briefly News reported that AmaZulu head coach Benni McCarthy is known for having a "no-nonsense" attitude and now it's being said that he allegedly disrespected some people. According to various reports, Benni McCarthy was super hard on the senior players of his team.

AmaZulu has struggled to maintain their form from last season, as they are presently 14th in the DStv Premiership log standings with just three points from four games. They have drawn three matches in total and lost one.
