All Blacks deserved the win: Erasamus

South African Coach, Rassie Erasamus says All Blacks deserved this win.

This after they lost to New Zealand 23-13 last night.

Two tries to one, they definitely deserved to win this game. I think if we concede I think 11 penalties to two, you’re going to struggle to beat New Zealand.

The All Blacks had 19 World Cup debutantes in their squad in the likes of Richie Mo’unga, Ryan Crotty and George Bridge.

He also highlighted issues that cost Springboks the match.

I think discipline was our biggest downfall, and then obviously they scored two tries and we scored only one. I don’t think we can learn about anything but saying well done to them.

In their last world cup encounter, South Africa lost by 2 points ending the match with 20-18.

South Africa will now prepare to take on Namibia at 9.45pm next Saturday.
