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

Bissie is a monster!
Spies working hard
Matfield supreme in the lineouts
The Bokke kickers boots working well
Habana looking good… nice to be able to say that for a change
Schalla is working very hard.
So far, so good… still a clean sheet, defence very good

You need a corretto
Gents, back for a flying visit.
Seems to me the Samoans have lost their ability to make the massive physical tackles they used to be known for, and now concerntrate on off the ball nonsense and intimidation.
As I said a few days ago, the massive Mr Johnson is getting taught a lesson by a superior scrummaging prop, the Samoan halfback is getting 80% of his ball going backwards, and superior defensive organisation and tactics are preventing Tuilagi from getting anywhere at any great speed.
GOOOOOO BOKKKKKKKKKE!!!!

I suppose that is so strong a spoon stands upright in the cup!
Gee vir mens bobwire in plaas van borshare!
Cheers all. Chat again after the game when I get back to the office.
Hel dis hard, maar ons het mos so iets verwag, n baie goeie ding dat ons harde wedstryde het. Sien daar is mense wat se die ABs het te maklike skedule so hulle word nie werklik getoets nie.Net een probleem dit is in NZ , en niemand wen maklik daar nie.
Looks like the Boks are not interested in a big win. Practicing their defense and kicking.
What is good to see is that the Bokke set pieces are spot-on… maul working well.
Remember, Samoa are’nt the easy-beats they used to be!
I like the way this game is heading, soften them up, frustrate the hell out of them and then put them to the sword in the last 20 mins.
Being critical for a moment, we left two try scoring opportunities out there, and Fourie du Preez is playing well, but he must not step before he clears the ruck, he has been caught twice now.
@ grootblousmile:
Not really, just an expresso with a splash of something stronger.
Bokke playing AGAINST the wind in the 2nd Half
Will the impact players make a difference?
2nd Half ON!
Habana down injured….
Habana not looking good…. Hougie warming up
Habs got a bit of a lamy there
Samoa kicks out directly… attacking Bokke lineout
Boks on attack
Bok scrum 6 m’s out.
