Gee Lambie en JJE 10 minute.
Mmm…too many injuries now.
Come on Bokke… that try now!
Nice runs by Hougie and Habs. Pity Hougie slipped there.
Penalty again
Phweeew…. chances, chances
270: ditto
Boks not looking after possession well enough. Good defense by Pumas.
7 Minutes to go….
Bokke penalty again…. Do it now boys!
Boks need that last try now
Snap Turkey!!!
Kirchner made contact without trying a sidestep or kicking an up & under.
Come on, a good lineout drive will do it… oh no Argies have it
Darnit, 6 minutes left. Seems like Boks have been infected with the Newlands anti-try virus.
5 Minutes to go….
hardloop nou alles !
4 farking minutes to go!
Janee, nou moet ons hardloop…
Another fukken turnover.
Pienaar looking the part…..again.
Flok, flok, flok
Jeez… if we can just do it….
1min 30 farking secs!
Less than 2 minutes to go… Argies scrum
Penalty Pumas… seconds left
What a ridiculous farce! Walsh totally loses it!
Game Over… no 4 try bonus
The last few minutes of rugby were crap.
Well done Springboks!
