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.

GBS, You going to the Coke Tin on Saturday? I can’t make it. Got my kids coming for the weekend.
Gurthro has really dominated Visser, the Namibian tighthead, in the scrums
70 @ Scrumdown:
Don’t think so… depends on Handbriekie’s health… and she’s supposed to go to the Buite Expo near Warmbaths (Bella Bella)
Should be able to go fetch Handbriekie from Hospital after this match
2nd Half ON!

TMO

@ grootblousmile:Helkom finally put our line back in after it was stolen 4 months ago – stolen again 6 hours later. This time they extracted the copper out of the line, and kindly left the rest. Tell me it wasn’t an inside job!!!
Tryyyyyyyyyy Fransie Steyn
Well worked try from the penalty
Bokke 38 / 0
CJ van der linde off, Chiliboy on
Bakkies off… looks like Flo is on and I suppose Alberts will go to lock
Good kick
Jaque Fourie’s been quiet….
@ grootblousmile:
I’ll let Krystle know we won’t be there and see if they need parking ticket returned or not.
How’s the game? Having to listen on some obscure on line radio station. SABC stations not live streaming the games on the net, Supersport feed not available, and work needs to be done for a meeting at 13h00.
Who said working for yourself was easy?
Try Bokke??
