Try Michele Sepe
Bokke 48 / 11
Goeie drie, rolskoppie werk as hy goed geplaas word.
Not nearly the same Bokke team that started…. the subs are causing kak again.
Nice steal by Dewald!
It is quite sad to think that at the age of 40 and after 63 knee operations, Butch James is the Boks back up 10.
10 mins to go.
Man of the match must be Morné Steyn
127: net Andre Pretorius het meer operasies gehad, 163.
