Springboks 36 / 27 England (Final score)
South Africa and England did battle in the Second Test at Coca-Cola Park, Johannesburg at 17:05 SA Time.
This was the live match discussion Article.
The match was broadcast LIVE on SuperSport 1, SHD & M-Net on TV in SA.
An effervescent Springbok side built up enough of a lead with 3 first half tries to keep the English winless in the series, which SA have now secured.
Man Of The match: JP Pietersen
The English can take heart from a spirited comeback that got them within 4 points of the Boks with less than 10 minutes to play. Their forwards particularly took the game to the Bokke in the second stanza who seemed to be somewhat disrupted by the substitution, both forced and tactical.

Goeie lynskop.
Boks win England line-out.
Hougie doing an amazing job today
Another penalty adv SA.
Advantage over but not needed.
TRY Houghaard.
Yes!!!!!
Lancaster looking soooo worried
And Hougie scores after waves and waves of pounding forward pressure.
I like!!!
20 mins…..22 points….poor England
Boks have scored almost every time they have got into the English half.
Damn, I’m trying to remember when last I’ve seen a Bok side this willing to attack…and Tuindienste dives over!
One more try and we have a bonus point…..oops, sorry – got carried away there.
Hougies !
Die bokke se geduld op aanval beindruk my.
Eng players will feel this tomorrow 🙂
If the Bokke plays like this the whole game….no team will be able to win them
Lambie injured?
England look shell-shocked. Keep it up Boks, don’t take the foot off the pedal!
JDV floreer in die kapteinskap rol.
TRY FLOOD.
Boks caught asleep.
Bokke, julle moet nie staan en aan die slaap raak nie.
SA need to be carefull of this Eng team….they have the players with the skill to turn this around if SA get’s complacent
Oh for farks sake man, Boks caught napping and England score from a quick tap. Boks were expecting England to take the 3 pointer. Now 22 – 10
Drop goal Morne Steyn!!!!!!
Morne takes the drop kick and it’s 25 – 10!
mooi man Fransie Steyn!!!….bly om te sien jy het weer jou skop boots gevind
Almost glad I cannot see this….
Where is GBS then?
Good decision
English look out on their feet already.
Eish, those last 20 could be a massacre!
mu ha hah ha haaaa….Eng lyk flokken bang
