*******************
The Springboks won a very hard match, with a lot of niggle in the match and a fiery Samoa not giving up.
The game was marred by the first Red Card of the tournament, to Paul Williams, for a punch to the face of Heinrich Brussow and also marred by a Yellow Card to John Smit.
Samoa exits the tournament and the Springboks end top of the “Pool of Death”, Pool D.

Bokke 7 / 0
Habs broke the shackles last week, great determination
Penalty Samoa, Doc Jannie not rolling away
Habs to score a hat trick!
Danie Pakslae steals a Samoan lineout, but Samoa has it again
Samoa hard on attack
Lots of off the ball play be the Samoans.
scramble defence
5m out
Bokke penalty… a relieving one
referee
Samoa concede a penalty for player leaving feet at ruck
Great touch finder by Morné
Good period of attack by Samoa. Boks don’t seem as fired up. Seem a bit too casual for my liking…
Quick ball for the Bokke… knock Jannie… arghhh
got to keep the ball in hand
Bokke gaan hulle hard bliksem vandag!
Could Habs be coming back into form at last?
What’s happening to the site, Gbs?
Penalty Samoa, and Doc Jannie gets a talking to
next Jannie will be kissing and making up!
Hier gaan n Samoan nog gemoer word…
81 @ The_Young_Turk:
Nothing!
Boks allowing the Samoans to play their own game – need to take control
Very Physical game
Bokke raak te los nou, moet die game vasmaak voor eers….Samoane wil uitrafel, dis hulle styl.
