Rugby World Cup warm-up match: Springboks 35 All Blacks 7 — LIVE

The Springboks and All Blacks clashed in a Rugby World Cup warm-up match at Twickenham in London on Friday night, with kick off at 8.30pm.

It was the last outing for the teams before the World Cup starts in France on September 8.

The Boks produced a dominant, record performance to win 35-7.

The forwards, with Siya Kolisi leading the way and Pieter-Steph du Toit, Eben Etzebeth and Franco Mostert not far behind, laid the platform and the backs ripped the heart out of the men from New Zealand.

In all, the Boks scored five tries, to the one by the All Blacks, who were heavily penalised and also lost Scott Barrett to a red card.

The Boks went into the game on the back of a solid outing against a weakened Wales side in Cardiff last week and looked to continue to build momentum ahead of their World Cup opener against Scotland in Marseille on September 10.

The All Blacks’ opening game is on Friday September 9 against hosts France.

Below is how The Citizen covered the match.
