Final Score: Springboks 22 / 17 England
Consolation try after the hooter.
kick missed.
Good win Bokke.
Totally undeserved try by England due to sloppiness by the Boks.
My Bru pick spot-on
If the Boks can replicate this second half, go up a gear and hold on to the ball, we’ll slaughter them next week. Good win. Well done Bokke
Habana se enigste fout vir die aand.
Geluk Bokke en HM, ons soek ‘n wen en ons het hom gekry.
Some more good Rugby tonight.
Argentine – Italy and Canada – USA.
Lots of positives to take out of this match. Boks too strong for England but too many handling errors and it’s necessary to tweak the selections.
Bokke seem to be full of passion and guts, just the errors need to be cut out.
Not bad at all for 5 days together, under a new coach.

Agree to disagree…..both teams played their hearts out. SA should have done a lot better. End did really well, considering their exp ect. SA should have executed better…..we have a lot work ahead of us if we are to compete international.
Standout Bokke players….
Willem Alberts, Marcell Coetzee, Bryan Habana, Jean de Villiers
Chaps…been good…..chat later. Happy for the win , but slightly worried
Score should never have been so close, but at least now HM’s first game is under the belt with a solid win.
@ bos_otter:
Didn’t mean that England didn’t deserve the try as such but that the Boks at the end relaxed and did defend well enough.
377@ grootblousmile:Agree. I also thought that, apart from his kicking, M Steyn had a solid game. Some good hits, defence pretty solid, and didn’t stand back
379 @ The_Young_Turk:
We all knew the first one was going to be difficult…. and it was.
Bokke had enough possession and territory… not worried about that
Bokke breakdown work will have to improve
This England team would not scare NZ or Oz. They don’t have anything to scare the top teams at the moment except their passion and heart which they have in abundance.
Alberts MOTM, He’s BACK!!!
So, Jean de Villiers has a 100% record as Bokke captain
… and Heyneke Meyer has a 100% record as Bokke coach.
Hahahaha
Alberts MOTM, think he deserved it. Solid game.
Last note!! Southern Hemisphere reign supreme!! The northern hemisphere need to take note and get their fingers out of their pro forward/maul asses.
Have a nice evening chaps. Braai time!!!
Well done bokke
Actually whole team did well accept Kirchner was no where, and Hougaard had a very poor first half, 2nd a little better
381: skoppe wat hy gemis het was moeilike skoppe, soos Farrell se laaste skop ook gewys het. Het wel gelyk of Morne gemakliker was met Ruan op skrummie. Dalk Hougies weer op vleuel ?
