If the All Blacks can avoid the Springboks last-quarter trap, they will have a good chance of emerging victorious in Saturdays Rugby Championship clash at Cape Town Stadium (5pm start).

That was the view of New Zealand blindside flank Ethan Blackadder after the Kiwis let a 27-17 lead slip at Ellis Park last weekend to go down 31-27.

The All Blacks were much more efficient and accurate for the first hour in Johannesburg in comparison to the South Africans, who had a high error rate and were affected by a few injuries too.

But the Bok Bomb Squad did the business once more in the second half to snatch victory with late tries by Kwagga Smith and Grant Williams.

We started the game well, and then let the Springboks come in at certain times. Whether it was through errors or discipline, they got back into the game and got down in our half, Blackadder said this week.
