Barnes pulls the kick, no change in the score
Boks look a bit frantic. Need to settle the nerves…
A penalty to the Boks this time. Flo and Etsabeth on form
Fark, the 3G Networks here from Loftus has fallen completely flat…
1St chance for Goosen to go for goal…. from halfway
Come on Goose! Need this kick to settle the nerves.
Eben shows alot of courage when he’s tackling
Langbek did well there…
Demmit!
The Goose steps up, and………..to the right
Hi all GO BOKS!
Wobblies a bit frantic
Another penalty, easier one this time.
Another chance for the Goose, with another penalty. Come on boyo, settle those nerves
Pulls it again, you could see him strike that completely wrong
Oh farkit! Nerves playing a factor now.
Don’t forget to breathe Goose
Oops….2nd miss.
Goosen trying too hard and we lose possession.
For a second there, the Boks retracted back to the old game, and look what happened
OK, let’s try again…. frustrating
Scrappy defence by the Boks, a better side would have got through. Boks need to tighten up in all areas, fast.
McCabe back on
Strauss with a very bloody nose.
Kick too deep – Ostrich has been speaking to the Goose. Damn!
Fark, these Wobblies are decidedly average, but they are running circles around us at the moment
Good thinking Crusty! Damn, did I just say that……?
Pienaars kicking has also been piss poor so far
….and thats how you offload in a tackle!
Sharp trying to wind up Alberts – didn’t work, and penalty Boks. Don’t fall for their tricks, boys.
Flo, proving his worth once again.
19 Minutes gone… still no score.
A great counter-ruck by the Bokke and they earn a penalty
