Jacques Nienaber insists goalkicking wasn't the main reason' for the Springboks' 13-8 defeat to Ireland

00:00 Hats off to Ireland, they were better than us on the day.
00:03 And yes, I think we missed a couple of points off the tee.
00:08 But I won't say that's the reason solely for not getting across the line.
00:16 I think we, in the first half alone, we lost two balls close to the try line,
00:22 I think probably a metre off the try line.
00:24 And we had another two opportunities later on in the game.
00:27 So I think that four opportunities and the opportunities we have to get points off the tee
00:33 is probably the reason why.
00:35 But I won't say it's only goal-kicking.
00:38 But I know you guys will probably say that.
