All Blacks wing Mark Tele’a had South African fans worried during the Rugby World Cup match between the Springboks and New Zealand.
The Boks ultimately won the tense final 12-11 on Saturday evening in France.
All Blacks captain Sam Cane was given a red card in the first half, but the three-times champions didn’t feel like they were a man down as Tele’a kept running at the Boks’ defence for most of the game, leaving millions of Springboks supporters worried.

It was another nerve-wracking 80 minutes for the Boks as they managed to hold on for another famous win over their rivals.
Tele’a, who ironically is born to a South African father, had many fans worried as he kept the All Blacks in the game even though, at one point, they trailed by six points.
Throughout the game, SA rugby fans were complaining about Telea and Aaron Smith.
