Steyn hammers All Blacks
02/08/2009 4:14 AM
pressure for South Africa to apply after Weepu fired a long pass over the deadball line.
South Africa kept the All Blacks pinned in their own 22m area and with flanker Heinrich Roussow providing Richie McCaw with a genuine battle at the breakdown, there was no miracle recovery for the New Zealanders.
South Africa enjoyed a 72 percent possession advantage, and conceded only nine penalties to New Zealand's 13, nine of which resulted in penalty goal attempts for South Africa, eight of which were successful.
That summed up what has been a mistake-ridden South African excursion for the All Blacks.
