Just kuk kicking out of hand by Stain and Hougie.
He he, nee Steyn has been pretty average of late, compared to what we are used to. You enjoying your wheels?
Penalty advantage England… and after an attempted Farrell drop, which missed, they get the penalty
England getting points everytime they get to the Boks half.
England kick for touch… they take their lineout
55: hallo ou Moaner.
Stab through, Aplon dots down… 22 drop
Flok….SA spelers het verdomde botter vingers vandag
Bokke penalty… very negative play by England
Boks lucky that England took a bad option there…
Shot at goal for Morné Steyn… not an easy kick
Missed left
Stain misses. So the kicking is still not back to normal.
Bokke scrum inside England territory
Another solid Bokke scrum
Meisiekind makes a half break
England penalty… JP Pietersen holding on, on the ground
Ons mis vir Alberts.
Aplon not having a good game at fullback… kicking not up to standard and has been found wanting under the high ball too
Oh Stain, Stain Stain. How long are we going to have to put up with you.
Bokke penalty… Bokke playing much better now.
Getting more and more into the game
Boks starting to look a bit better. Were they just slow to get started? Lets hope so!
Hulle maak opsetlik die bal heeltyd stadig.
Skop hoek toe en druk.
Morné Steyn going for goal again…
Farrell off for stitches, Barrett on
Springboks 9 / 8 England
Mooi so Morné!
Thanks goodness that’s over. Painful boring game to watch so far
79: ou bitterbek.
Better kick by Stain.
Bokke penalty again, on their own 22 and a good touchfinder by Morné
Good Bokke play… and then the littlest knock…
Habana doing great, Morné distributing like the KING he is!
Darnit, just when the Boks put together some nice movement and continuity, the knock on ruins it.
