How’s that for a get of jail free card?
But deservedly so.
Great pass from Willie to Cornel
Justice….
Eish, jaws and defeat come to mind. Welsh must be devastated.
Bliksem … wonderwerke gebeur nog.
bokke keer nou asseblief.
@ Hondo:
You are such a doos.
Seconds remain, Wales lineout
Won’t be surprised if Walsh gives them a penalty
seal the deal bokke
It is a very sad day when the Springboks need a penalty try is needed to beat Wales B at home.
:'(
Dicipline, boys!
My wager is saved
Thanks Sivie
Got to keep them out of the drop zone too.
Bokke winnnnnnnnnn!
Bokke !
I take this kind of win over a 50 pointer any day… boks will need to fix their handling when getting tackled
Phweeeew!
Far too close for comfort!
Poor decision by Wales to go for that last drop.
Not sure if I fully agree that we deserved to win, Wales played really well and we played really poor
How long was that last minute…17 phases!
Well done Bokke!
Great game by Wales. Pushed the Boks hard which is just what they needed.
A win is a win, but somehow a hollow feeling with this win. Well done Boks, but well done Wales to. Indiscipline lost you this match, I am afraid.
great compose by the skop en jaag manne shown… but it was too close for comfort
Stevie Walsh can collect now the 2nd half of the installment!
Well, a Bokke win by 1 against Wales is just as good as an All Blacks win by 1 against England, I suppose!
donner dit was close, bokke het nie die wen verdien nie, wallis was vir 70min die beste span op die veld
390 @ Hondo: jammer jou span het verloor, probeer maar volgende keer weer. 😐
congrats Bokke
Scraped through by the skin of the teeth!
@ nortierd:
they were on attack but they were too “richee” on defense when we attacked. they kept slowing our ball down. that last ten minutes we started cleaning out like beasts
I feel a bit sick taking this
Sorry Wales you really send us back to the drawing board. What a great spirited game by Wales.
Sadly the YELLOW card showed us again how unfair the game is when your numbers are not equal.
Ghosts of Bissies yellow last year vs the AB,s
