It was an error-ridden match with lots of penalties by the French referee and most of the excitement came from the Barbarians in the first 20 minutes.

Kicking to posts by Elton Jantjies was abysmal.

Free Kick Bokke… Kanko taps and runs
Penalty Bokke as O’Connor holds onto a ball in the tackle
Now an error-ridden match, both ways.
Genia Off, Ellis on, So’oialo off, Geldenhuys back on
@ Treehugger:
39 – A Baby Shower, sounds absolutley deadly dull!!
Bring on the rugby….
Bokke scrum now much better with Beast on
@ grootblousmile:
Any relation?
I hear that England beat New Zealand to get to the Dubai IRB Sevens Final
Damn, what a scrum!!!
66@ Blue Bird:
Not that I know of… he’s a dark-haired Geldenhuys… must be from Jan-Hannetjie’s lot…. the branch of the forebears who did nothing much except becomming policemen and speedcops… hehehe
Kanko off, Keegan Daniel on….. ahhhhh Willem Alberts moves to No 8, Daniel to openside
Penalty Bokke… on the 22, middle of the field… Jantjies WILL go for posts.
Fark, he misses again.
Beast monstering the BaaBaas in the scrum….
Maku on, Adriaan Strauss off…
Penalty BaaBaas, pulling down in the lineout
Yet another penalty against the Bokke, hands in
Try Quintin Geldenhuys
BaaBaas 26 / 10
16 minutes left…. 16 points the difference
Ma’a Nonu off, Joe Rokocoko also off.
Hougie also off, Charl McLeod on
CJ slips the bind… penalty BaaBaas at the scrum
Not a pretty game… from neither side
Beast off, Werber Kruger on, CJ moves to loosehead
Try Bakkies Botha
Elton Jantjies misses the conversion…. he’s not been good today
It certainly looks like Bakkies is only a 60min player.
Juan Smith is a GREAT Springbok!
Elton Jantjies off, Lambie moves to flyhalf, Gio Aplon on and going to fullback
Lambie at 10. Lets win this game.
It’s very empty at Twickers…. very. Bottom tier is full, top tier totally empty
Penalty Bokke, Lambie drills it to touch…
Bokke scrum, 15m out
