Springboks (31) 87 / Namibia (0) 0 (Final Score)
The South African Springboks did battle with Namibia in Albany at 10:00 SA Time (20:00 NZ Time).
This was the live match discussion Article.
The match was broadcast LIVE on SuperSport 1, SHD & M-Net on TV in SA.
*******************
The First half was not convincing at all by the Springboks, too many lapses in concentration and too many forced and unforced errors riddled this period. Despite not being clinical enough the Springboks scored 4 converted tries and a penalty in the First Half.
The Springboks started the Second Half in much the same vein, but then suddenly all gears clicked into place, and the tries rained on the poor Namibians. The Springboks scored 56 points in the Second Half.
Altogether, the Springboks scored 12 tries, hell make that 12 converted tries, as the 2 Springbok kickers had a flawless night with the boot as well.
At this juncture in Rugby World Cup 2011, this is the biggest win of the Tournament, surpassing the 83 / 7 score by the All Blacks whilst at the same time keeping the score sheet squeeky clean for the Springboks on the day.

VRYSTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!
BOKSTAAAAAT!
Unfortunately I’ve got to go to work and won’t be able to watch this game. What will be regarded as a good win for the Boks? 100 points? 200? or would a 70 pointer be good enough. On the other hand would 50 points or less be regarded as a disaster? Let the kak talk begin.
Morming fellas, muppits, moepels…. and friends!
So, balls on the line…
How is this game going to pan out?
I think the Bokke should dominate the lineouts by far, the scrums by some margin and have the better all round game.
Defence has been a problem for Namibia, but their attack has been quite good.
@ The_Young_Turk:2 – Brilliant…hehe.
From now on will say the same…..hehe.
Morning everyone.
Go Bokke. Just hope no injuries.
See it is Bakkies birthday today.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BAKKIES.
Jacques Potgieter, Namibia captain, is a hard bugger… good player.
The rest is a bit of a mix between Currie Cup and Vodacom Cup quality.
But Namibia will be passionate and amped up, and as we know already, that passion and hype usually lasts for about 20 – 30 minutes.
What I would like to see more than a massive score, is correct and properly structured Bokke rugby!
About 28 minutes to kick-off
Morning all,@ The_Young_Turk: Too bad, been at work since 6am, to make sure I can catch the game. Not moving now till it’s done and dusted.
I like this team for this match, should be some enjoyable rugby
Anthems!
89 – 15
13 @ Weti:
Jy my mail gekry van gister?
Right, lets have some fun
My Bru pick is Bokke by 52… maybe a bit conservative… but the minnows, including Namibia have improved quite a bit
Game ON!
Charge down
Charge down by Spies, but unable to gather it
Good Bokke scrum, first off…. penalty Bokke, easy one
Bokke 3 / 0
Hi All!
Have worked like a slave to be able to watch this game.
This must be the first time ever that CJ actually dominates his opponent.
Absolutely ZIP live feed available from SuperSport!!!
Why am I not surprised?
TRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY APLON.
Try Aplon… wonderful pass by Hougie
Try time
Bokke 10 / 0
Penalty Bokke…. kickable one but Morné Steyn goes for touch
