YOKOHAMA, Japan (Reuters) - South Africa coach Rassie Erasmus said New Zealand feasted on his side’s errors in their 23-13 World Cup Pool B loss at the Yokohama Stadium on Saturday and bemoaned the penalty count stacked heavily against his side.
New Zealand scored two tries to one in a game characterised by mistakes from both sides, but while the world champions were able to capitalise on the Springbok blunders, Erasmus’s team did not manage the same clinical finishing in return.
