No try, 5m Italy scrum
Now we need a great scrum
In the meantime Flo Louw has been back on for a while
Gee vir Jan ‘n kans !
Massive Italian scrum, penalty Italy.
Coenie die Boef is also on
Dammit, pity about Vermaak. Looked like the Boks answer at scrumhalf.
Tryyyyyyyyy JJ!
No, was that a knock?
Yip, knock…
5m Italy scrum again.
Jan Serfontein on…
Whoop!
Geez, Habs just running rings around the Azzurri. Pity about JJ losing the ball at the end.
Habana off for blood, JJ to the right wing
Chiliboy on at hooker
Scrum now a problem
Italy scrum penalty… against Beast, it seems
Trevor Nyakane on for Beast
Nie net Bulle wat sukkel in die voorry nie, hmmm …
Tryyyyyyyyyyyyy Jean de Villiers…. nice pass at the end by Bjorn Basson
Basson made that try
Coenie is ‘n gemiddelde vaskop, maar goeie loskop.
Think the days of the Sharks front row for the Boks is over – welcome the Staat front row for the Boks!
TMO rules the last pass OK.
Springboks 37 / 10 Italy
4 Minutes to go in the match
The difference is 27… close to my Bru pick
Tryyyyyyyyyyy Bjorn Basson…. nice intercept
Springboks 44 / 10 Italy
Nice one Bjorn! Waited long to see him as a regular in the Bok jersey.
Time is up… last Italian scrum
Final Score: Springboks 44 / 10 Italy
Well the bit i saw was quite good, thanks HM and Bokke
Not the greatest of Bok wins… those 1st 20 minutes in the 2nd half the Azzurri really came at the Bokke.
All in all not too shabby for a 1st Bokke outing of the year though.
