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

Now the game is devolving into just a mess. Ref has lost all control and Boks are rattled.
Die ouens is regte vuil gatte
@ grootblousmile:
Kuk ene daai, watse geelkaart!
What a kick.
Bokke thankfully steal a ball… great touch finder by Fourie du Preez
High tackle, dirty play, no ref
Danie drops a sitter.
Flippen kuk ref…
Man, these Samoans play the man and not the ball….
… but they’re manning up, one can say that for them
6 Minutes of agony left
I dont think I have ever willed a game to end as I am now!
Ok, so maybe not 20 points, but a good win playing kak rugby.
Phweeeew….
Looks like we will escape, but it was a bloody hard match
FS please
Lambie innie agterlyn in agterlyn en skielik is daar spoed oppie aanval…miskien moet hy losskakel speel.
Penalty Bokke and they go for touch
Samoa penalty..
Samoa hard on attack…. Gurthro steals one
Game over
Final Score: Springboks 13 / 5 Samoa
Boys, if we play like this in the quarters/semi’s… but I won’t dwell on that, I am off to drown myself in a vat
Morne Steyn maak my senuwees op, die man weet nie wat om met die bal te maak nie, weet nie hoe om sy agterlyn innie spel te bring nie…..
What a disappointing performance from the Boks. No passion and interest and when things started not going their way, resorted to kicking away position. I am struggling to take anything positive from this game.
Genade onse… dit was UGLY!
What worries me are the injuries to Habana & Hougie
Well done Samoa, you gave us a hell of run.
Let’s give credit to Samoa’s grit and determination, even though they play bloody dirty!
I don’t think Hougie has a bad injury. Just precautionary to take him off. But a moral victory for the Samoans.
