A game without history from the very beginning: the All Blacks allow an incredible number of fouls, remain in 13 for a double yellow and are penalized by Kolisi in the 18th minute. Half an hour later, a bad pass by Jordy Barrett gives the ball to Arendse, who thanks him, opens the gas and flies between the posts. At the end of the first half, the New Zealanders remained in the 14th for a double yellow card to Scott Barrett (who, however, given the second foul, risks getting a long disqualification).
