'Typing error' nearly costs All Blacks dearly Tri Nations New Zealand Rugby Union News October 6, 2013 - 8:17AM 51 reading now Darren Shand, the New Zealand All Black manager, talks to referee Nigel Owens. JOHANNESBURG: The Rugby Championship decider between South Africa and New Zealand Saturday delivered a pulsating match, and a "typing error" that temporarily halted the game. When All Blacks hooker Keven Mealamu came on during the second half for Andrew Hore, Welsh referee Nigel Owens spotted that the veteran was not on the team sheet. A New Zealand official rushed on to the Ellis Park pitch in Johannesburg, and told the Welsh match official that a "typing error" was to blame. What the All Blacks management member failed to explain was how the spellings of Keven Mealamu and Dane Coles -- the original reserve hooker - were mixed up. New Zealand scored five tries in a 38-27 triumph that left them nine points ahead of their greatest rivals on the final standings.
