It hasn't sunk in yet!
Sam Cane red-carded early. Siya Kolisi binned. Cheslin Kolbe sent off with seven minutes left. Beauden Barrett's try in the corner. Mo'unga missed the crucial conversion. Penalty from 10m out pulled left of the uprights. All Blacks threw everything at it. Boks held firm. Final scrum. Final whistle.
It's tight, but the Boks could squeak it by 4 points.
Nienaber and Erasmus playing chess. Reinach and Libbok at halfback. Faf and Pollard on the bench. Run France ragged early, bring the experience on late. That's the game plan. France have won 28 of their last 34 but Scotland just beat them 25-21. Boks should take this by four. Holding thumbs.
