Much of the game was played in pouring rain. Auckland's star winger, Jonah Lomu opened the attack with a quick try early on, followed by fellow All Black Andrew Blowers and Carlos Spencer. South African tries were scored by fullback Andre Joubert and winger James Small. Natal lock Mark Andrews dominated the lineouts, but Natal made some costly errors, and most of the match was played in their half. Difficult season ahead for Springboks.
