DSPN -RUGBY · 'GAME ON' | Tony Johnson Breaks Down All Blacks LOSS In Cape Town · 31 Aug 2026 podcast

We've said it so often, matches can be really decided either side of halfway or big moves towards winning a match can be made either side of halfway. voice-verified

And that was a period just after halftime where the Springboks managed things well and the All Blacks just made some crucial mistakes that really hindered their efforts to get themselves back into the game. voice-verified

Yeah. voice-verified

Look, for all that, I mean, we think back a year ago and what happened after the Springboks lost at Eden Park. voice-verified

They went to Wellington and absolutely toweled the All Blacks. voice-verified

It was a win of record-breaking proportions. voice-verified

That didn't happen this time. voice-verified

And really, for all the fact that the Springboks, you felt, had the game kind of in their hands for the most part, voice-verified

You get to the end of the game and the All Blacks were still in with a shot at a remarkable draw if they'd been able to get a converted try. voice-verified

So they stayed in the contest. voice-verified

And so does that say just where this All Black team has come in the last 12 months? voice-verified

era. voice-verified

Yeah, talking about those micro moments, and I mentioned one early on, and I think the score was pretty close. voice-verified

It was about 10-7, something like that. voice-verified

And the All Blacks were attacking, and then there's that... voice-verified

off the ball clean out by luke jacobson and then the piggyback effect downfield and then there's an illegal what they call it an escort run and moments later instead of actually threatening the springbok try line the box are knocking over three points and to me that was one of the key passages of the whole game if the all blacks had been able to make something out of that if that voice-verified

error hadn't been committed that gave them the exit and then the momentum to get downfield and challenge and score those three points. voice-verified

Who knows? voice-verified

And those are the moments that they have got to eliminate because as we've seen so often over the years, it's those micro moments, those little flash points that so often can decide a test match. voice-verified

Yeah, I mentioned the discipline side of things. voice-verified
