It was always going to be a tough ask for the All Blacks to beat the Springboks in South Africa.

But it was the manner in which they were beaten that doesn't give much hope to fans.

The All Blacks went down 26-10, but our only try came in the dying minutes on a runaway break while the Springboks were a man down.

Apart from that they were beaten soundly around the park by a more composed and efficient South African team.

Former All Blacks’ coach Laurie Mains joined Mike Hosking to give his take on the match.
