*******************
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.

Matfield reigning supreme in the lineouts!
Bokke penalty, entry from the side by Samoa
Anything that needs a sniper rifle, give it to FS
Boks not playing as I was expecting. Thought they would be more fired up and keep it tight.
The boys got boots!!!!!
Fransie kics the long one…. OVERRRRRRRRR
Bokke 10 / 0
Boks playing a bit too loose. Fransie Steyn does the impossible once again. What a boot!
Scrum middle spot as Samoa duffs the kick-off.
Massive scrum Bokke… PENALTY… and 10 meters more!
Very poor reffing – had to be a yellow
Cane Thompson and the Samoa team warned.
Morné goes for goal
Boks must just keep their own dicipline, the Ref is all worked up now
Bokke 13 / 0
Bokke has the best goal kickers at RWC!
Only a few minutes until the Samoans are down to 14 men.
13-0
overcooked
Pity about that kick that went straight out.
Pierre Spies steals a Samoa lineout
Penalty Samoa, Bokke off their feet in the attempt to steal
Boks shouldn’t react to Smoans niggle.
Tuilagi knocks…. hehehe
Bokke ball
Stronggggg Bokke scrum…. and a Bokke penalty.
Lekker!
Fransie Steyn going for posts, 64 m out
Samoans really need to read the rule book
Geez, Fransie going for 63m kick!
Just short and to the left
Brussow tackles the be-bliksem out of a Samoan… knock
Bokke doing very well against a fired-up and very physical Samoa… I’m happy so far
Bissie rips one…. great!
Samoan just don’t have the class and forwards to contest equally.
Knock by Fourie du Preez… arghhhh
Bissie steals one more… that’s why he’s best!
Flok, hulle gaan moeg wees halftyd…. die game is hard en vinnig
Samoan getting another lucky penalty
