Beast monstering Mr Long Hair!
Jannie dup giving away a scrum penalty
Penalty Wales… against Schalla, rolling into the line of play in stead of away.
Bokke 10 / 6
10 /6 Bokke.
Terretory all the way to Wales, we must get away from our 22
Matfield might be an old fart, but he still plies his craft with skill. Gr8 take in the air.
Would be great if little Shane could get a decent run!
Fransie Steyn’s line kicks bloody good so far
98 @ Blue Bird:
NO!
Bokke penalty, from a scrum
Drop attempt by Morné… short and right
Butch kicks it, touch and goal, they’ll scrum back on halfway
Wales on attack
Priestland attempts a drop, well left.
Lemoenetyd
We are only hanging on , Wales almost do all the playing, dangerous with such a low scoring game and doing it near your own 22
Nervous times.
Bokke forwards will have to be more clinical and protect the ball better.
Bokke better build better continuity!
Wales are stopping the Bokke forward runners well, and often behind the advantage line

2nd Half ON!
Penalty Wales, Bokke holding on in the tackle
Bissie needs to come on for John Smit
Kom nou flokken weg van julle kwart
Surely the tackler never releaded?
Wales 5m out, good Bokke Defence… and they turn the ball over… goodie
FS Kicking very well for touch.
Ons gaan nie in om te tackle nie, ons was dat hulle na ons hardloop, so gaan ons niemand terug tackle nie
Good pressure by Jaque Fourie
Muller coming on for who??????? Matfield.
Oh k@k. Lock depth a problem IMO.
