'They'll be hurting': What went wrong for the All Blacks in Springboks defeat?

The All Blacks are smarting physically and mentally from the 29-24 loss to the Springboks in Soweto.

A shoulder injury to Ardie Savea means he won't be heading to Baltimore to attempt to level the series and Quinn Tupaea is also nursing a banged up knee.

Newstalk ZB rugby commentator Elliott Smith says the there's a lot of lessons the Kiwi side can take on board from this loss - including not letting the opposition surge too far ahead.
