Matfield: Smit speech lifted Springboks

The South African team hailed the influence of John Smit after their historic 30-28 victory against New Zealand today.

A late Ricky Januarie try and a conversion by Francois Steyn got the Springboks home in a thrilling game as they enjoyed their first win at Carisbrook and ended a 10-year winless streak on New Zealand soil.
