JOIN NOWJustin Marshall - 81-test former All Blacks halfback and rugby commentator - joins Martin Devlin on It's Only Sport, offering his thoughts on the Springboks' 31-27 win over the All Blacks in Johannesburg. The Boks won their third successive test over their old rivals, in the first clash between them since last year's Rugby World Cup final in Paris. The match featured its fair share of contentious calls made by officials, and has caused a stir among the New Zealand mainstream media, with suggestions the All Blacks haka was disrespected when music was played and a plane flew over the stadium as the Kiwi players were performing it.
Marshall talks about the haka issue first and whether or not this is just a silly media beat-up as opposed to a genuine issue. Then, he and Devlin go in-depth on the test discussing promising signs the All Blacks showed in the first hour of play, their struggle to score points late in games, and more.
