And it came at a big cost; lock Brodie Retallick left the field after 60 minutes with a dislocation of an arm \u2013 joint unspecified \u2013 which made him a serious concern for the All Black coaches ahead of the World Cup.<\/p>\n<p class=\"VYEVUgvTMz\" style=\"display:none\">The Boks defended superbly apart from a slip just before halftime and the All Blacks discovered new ways to drop the ball almost by the minute.<\/p>\n<p class=\"VYEVUgvTMz\" style=\"display:none\">All Blacks 16<\/p>\n<p class=\"VYEVUgvTMz\" style=\"display:none\">Jack Goodhue try; Beauden Barrett con, pen, Richie Mo\u2019unga 2 pens)<\/p>\n<p class=\"VYEVUgvTMz\" style=\"display:none\">South Africa 16<\/p>\n<p class=\"VYEVUgvTMz\" style=\"display:none\">Herschel Jantjies\u2019 try; Handre Pollard 3 pens, con)<\/p>\n<p class=\"VYEVUgvTMz\" style=\"display:none\">Halftime: 7-6<\/p>\n<p><img  alt=\"South Africa's Herschel Jantjies goes over to score in the 2019 clash in Wellington.
