Bokke penalty, the Saxons openside flanker not keeping his bind to the scrum.
Hooter goes… Bokke penalty… old rules apply so no lineout after the hooter it will be.
Tap by Groom!
Saxons penalty, hacked out!

SA A 10 / 22 Saxons
Hi GBS, not watching so will rely on you, thanks!
SA A 10 / 25 Saxons
Try Piet van Zyl, Bokke!
SA A 17 / 25 Saxons
The SA A replacements have made a huge difference to the side… Brummer, Piet van Zyl and Malcolm Marx!
Bokke penalty… and a few handbags are slung.
The SA A backline is just way more functional with Brummer at flyhalf in place of April.
In the 1st half Garth April almost always gave the ball out, putting his outside backs under pressure.
Piet van Zyl’s service is super fast…
Coenie die Boef is doing well, RG Snyman is working hard…
GBS, who is this No 23 replacement (Lukhanyo Am)? Never heard of him…
Tryyyyyy Sikhumbuzo Notshe, Bokke!
Lenght of the field try by the Bokke!
42 @ BrumbiesBoy:
Hello Perdjie… he plays for the Southern Kings!
SA A 24 / 25 Saxons
7 Minutes to go in the game…
44 @ grootblousmile:
Thanks.
Saxons penalty.. not releasing the ball on the ground.
Very attacking Saxons lineout… 12m out
Bokke penalty…. deep in their own territory… good turnover on the ground…
Great touchfinder…
Bokke lineout, 8m outside the Saxons 22.
They bugger up the lineout with an overthrow.
Try Saxons…
Well, that’s the game.. no way back for the SA A side… as Cipriani converts.
SA A 24 / 32 Saxons
Game Over!
Final Score: South Africa A (3) 24 / 32 (22) England Saxons
Just too much to do for a very resurgent SA A side in the 2nd half, after a dismal 1st half.
… but they came back well… and the 2nd half replacement players should certainly start in place of some of the initial starters.
Lizo Gqoboka, Malcolm Marx, Coenie die Boef, RG Snyman, Piet van Zyl & Francois Brummer were all exceptional!!
56 @ grootblousmile:
Try telling the “knowledgable” Minister of Sport and his ilk that…they won’t understand.
57 @ BrumbiesBoy:
Some of the SA A players played well right through… Notshe, Travis Ismaiel, Skosan…
But compared to Koch, Ntubeni, Thomas du Toit, Stephan Lewies and Garth April, the replacements I mentioned did a hell of a lot better.
So, it’s not about POC’s or colour of skin or anything… it’s about those who shined in the 2nd half and the difference they made…
Sikhumbuzo Notshe is going to be a big star in the future of rugby in SA… he is bloody good!
@ grootblousmile:
Let’s see the starting line-up next week!
