Digby Ioane off – for the ding dong test
Handbags!
Good maul
Penalty Bokke again…. this one MUST go over… no it’s a kick to touch
Give that Digby a Bells – he’s going to go for the ding-dong test!
Boks go for the corner. A strange cal in the context of the game
Boks choosing the line out and not the kick.
Boks must use it
TRYYYYYYY Kirchner
Tryyyyy Crusty!
Woohoo! surely that must be a try
Good work by the boys, using 1 to 15. I like it
whew
Looks like my internet connection is slowly improving… as the Bokke are improving.
Ruan Pienaar taking the shot at goal…. over
Springboks 7 / 0 Wallabies
Converted by Pienaar – the Goose has been pulled. Good captaincy by JdV
Geez, that was a fragile try. However it counts and now the guys should feel more settled. Pienaar now kicking. Good descion. Crusty did well so far.
Crusty scores!
Promising signs… of running rugby and keeping possession
THE GOOOOOOOOOOSE
Goose almost right through, half a meter short…
TMO
Goosey goosey gander
GOOOOOSE!!!!!!!!
TMO
Ball definitely short
Bloody close
Penalty Wobblies
Double movement ruled, Wallabies penalty
Might give him a boost – very good break that
Boks still not committing at the right time. Come on Boks, read the game.
Bokke penalty… 57m out…. Goose goes for goal
