'We stung them': All Blacks defuse Springboks' 'Bomb Squad'REACTION: All Black head coach Ian Foster says the way his team dealt with the Boks’ ‘Bomb Squad’ was one of the most encouraging aspects of their win in Auckland. Two months before the World Cup kicks off, the All Blacks grabbed early tries by Aaron Smith and Shannon Frizell to dominate early on. Malcolm Marx and Cheslin Kolbe crossed as the Springboks fought back in the second half before New Zealand’s Will Jordan and Richie Mo’unga touched down late tries. We’ve spoken before about defending leads and they had a lot of experience on their bench in that third quarter. The skipper played down the neck injury which saw him miss the second half: “It was just a precautionary measure.”Sources: AFP and stuff.co.nz
