Slippery ball or greased pig?
Bok defence good…
Knock by the Irish midfield, on the Bokke 22m line, middle of the pitch… Springbok scrum ball!
Bok scrum Free Kick, Ruan Combrinck finds an excellent touch on the Ireland 10m line.
Knock by JP Pietersen from an uppie…
Ireland penalty on their own 22, good steal by Conor Murray… and the Bok player holding on!
10 min of appalling rugby from both sides
Furlong on for Ross… on the Ireland tighthead prop.
Ireland penalty on about halfway, deliberate knock ruled against JP Pietersen.
Brilliant saving intercept by Faf de Klerk!
Did I hear Glen Jackson say ‘Risk and reward’? If so, an interesting new way of refereeing!
Springbok defensive lineout, deeeep inside their own 22m area.
Far should be on the mid on boundary for the Proteas. We may have a chance of winning something!
Ruan Combrinck clears to touch, but the ball slices off his right boot… and now Ireland have an attacking lineout!
They get their own ball off the lineout…
Far = Faf
Wow, the Bokke tactical kicking is woeful… up midfield… no plan, no recovery…
Like Marshall has had an excellent game so far – especially in upsetting Elton
Another Ireland knock…
Springbok defence quite resolute, but the Springboks have very little possession and territorial chances… all of that rests with Ireland at present.
No score yet in the 2nd half!
Julian Redelinghuys replaces Frans Malherbe, Steven Kitshoff on for Beast Mtawarira!
The new front row demolishes the Ireland scrum in their 1st scrum attempt… should have been the 2 starting props!!
Penalty Bokke… Ruan Combrinck will attempt a loooong one at goal!
Overrrr!
Springboks 16 / 10 Ireland
20 Minutes to go in the game, as Jaco Kriel finally replaces Siya Kolisi….
Now things WILL happen!
Ireland 22m drop-out… a kick of Faf de Klerk going just too far and it gives Ireland the chance to dot dead…
2 Ireland players run into one another… bam!
Paddy Jackson catches a fair mark though!
Jaco Kriel tackling the Irish like a machine…
Springbok penalty – conceded by CJ Stander on the Bok 10m line…
Come on Boks
Come now Bokke… this is not good enough!
You need to up the intensity radically now!!
Bokke penalty, not rolling away… easy shot at goal for Jantjies!
