All it took was three tries by South Africa

By

On their way to victory against New Zealand on 8 December 2013 at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth the Blitzbokke scored three tries with one conversion to win Round 3 17-14.

In the 4th minute of the first half, Branco de Preez scored the first try which was converted by Justin Geduld.

With 2 minutes to go to the end of the first half Branco scored once again.

You can hear the booing of the partisan Afrikaans speaking New Zealand supporters behind me during the South African attack and try scoring – interestingly enough these South African All Black supporters stand impassive and silent after each try by the Springboks.

With 3 minutes to go in the 2nd half Kyle Brown blitzes out of nowhere to score the Springboks 3rd try and seal the match with their first ever home win at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium.
