Springboks punish All Blacks errors

NEW ZEALAND were left to lament costly errors after going down 28-19 to South Africa in the Tri-Nations match in Bloemfontein on Saturday.

The All Blacks battled back from a 17-3 deficit to trail by just four points going into the final 10 minutes.

But a wayward pass from substitute scrum-half Piri Weepu, which replacement lock Jason Eaton failed to hold on to, resulted in a try for Springboks centre Jaque Fourie at the other end which effectively sealed the New Zealanders’ fate.
