This was the live match discussion Article.

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

Skrum hulle Bokke!
What a fukken waste.
Once again a superior Bokke scrum but Spies causes an obstruction
Hougie on for Habana
Boks mess up a good opportunity there.
Samoa penalty, on their own 10m line
Hougie to score his hat trick!
Samoa never released Danie Pakslae in the tackle, should have been a Bokke penalty.
Bokke getting frustrated, need to calm down
Samoa attacked hard… but Bokke scramble well, Bokke scrum
