Nienaber: We slipped up when it mattered

Springbok coach Jacques Nienaber lamented a lack of accuracy from the world champions in the closing moments of a disappointing defeat by the All Blacks on Saturday.

The Kiwis, who led 15-10 at half time, scored two tries in the final seven minutes to deny a Bok comeback and clinch a“We weren’t as accurate as we were last week and they kept offloading, taking high risks which we didn’t contain that well,” Nienaber told reporters after the Boks failed to record back-to-back Rugby Championship victories over New Zealand.

“We were over the tryline three times but we got zero points for that and rightly so,” said Nienaber. “I think since we have been back, we have coached 45 games and we’ve probably gone with a six-two split more than 30 times and it did bring us some positive results with a World Cup win and series victory over the British & Irish Lions, but saying that we know it is a risk if you get a backline injury and it’s just unfortunate.
