Wales (16) 31 / Springboks (14) 34 (Final Score)
Wales hsted the Springboks at the Millennium Stadium, Cardiff at 15:30 SA Time. This is the match thread for discussion of the game. The match was broadcast live on SuperSport 1 on DSTV in SA.
Wales started the match fast, racing into an early lead and after an intercept try by James Hook from a wayward John Smit pass, went into a 16 / 3 lead. The Springboks fought back and some of the new combinations started to gel and by halftime the score was Wales 16 / Bokke 14.
After halftime the Springboks continues their mid match dominance, adding another converted try and grabbing the lead, now leading by 21 / 16. It was Wales next to score from a penalty, drawing the SA lead back to only 2 points.
Frans Steyn then slotted a long penalty from near halfway, causing the Springboks to lead by 24 / 19. Next it was the try by Juan de Jongh, which carved the Welsch fedence to ribbons, for the Bokke to sail into a lead of 31 / 19.
The Welsch were not finished though and capitalised on some hurried Springbok replacements, adding 1 unconverted try and 1 converted try to the lone penalty by the Springboks, bringing the final score to Springboks 34 / Wales 31.

@ The Saint:
It is a bit of both.
R500 as iemand n omroeper met n handgranaat gooi.
Rossouw(sp) really plays well in the big games, dont like even thinking this but is Bakkies even being missed.

@ Loosehead: 211 – thought bad pass by De Jongh there not so much Steyn not catching it. Need to slow it down a bit.
@ grootblousmile:
I am not a fan of Kirchner, but would rather see him on the field than Steyn.
@ rugbybal:217 Super….hahahaha SNAP. I agree
Hoor ek n vuvuzela?
Come bokkies put petrol on the fire.
Oi, Joe….
Neewat manne, ons het nie die oorseese ouens nodig nie….

@ Puma:
It wasn’t Steyn’s to catch. He was taking another mans ball.
Think its time for Kanko to come on. Another penalty at scrum time. Amazing.
CAN someone else play scrummie? DAMN Ricky is crap.
Scrum is going well.
Fark, Bokke keep being pinged for engaging early in the scrum
