Meyer said: \u201cWe don\u2019t have any excuses, we wanted it to be a spectacle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think we played that well, but I always thought we had a chance after halftime. They outplayed us for the first 30 minutes, but I really felt there was a momentum shift after that driving maul.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Springboks captain Jean de Villiers followed Meyer\u2019s lead but admitted Du Plessis was disappointed with being sent from the field in the first-half. De Villiers said: \u201cHe is a very good tackler and I think he executes his tackles very well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/mysport24.co.za\/all-blacks-down-springboks-at-eden-park\/\" target=\"_blank\">So he was disappointed that he only played 30 minutes of this game. We\u2019re all disappointed, we\u2019re disappointed with the results and that hurts<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is what it is and we have to move on and learn from this because at the end of the day, whatever decisions were made we didn\u2019t play well tonight. \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.espnscrum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">ESPN<\/a><\/p>\n<p>For more Springboks news,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/mysport24.co.za\/tag\/springboks\/\" target=\"_blank\">click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>For more breaking sporting news and views, visit MySport24 on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MySport24\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/mysport24?ref=hl\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"zemanta-pixie-a\" title=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" href=\"http:\/\/www.zemanta.com\/?px\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"zemanta-pixie-img\" alt=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-content\/plugins\/rss-poster\/cache\/da0cd_zemified_h.png\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The tackle that ended Dan Carter\u2019s game and saw Bismarck du Plessis pick up a yellow card.
