This was the live match discussion Article.

The match was broadcast LIVE on SuperSport 1, SHD & M-Net on TV in SA.

*******************

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.
