South African Springboks (29) 42 / 39 (27) England (Final Score)
Close at the end… bloody Springboks made me worry for the first 20 to 25 minutes… eish!
All in all, the only Springbok players who did not perform well enough:
– Damian de Allende
– Bongi Mbonambi
– Wilco Louw
Warrick Gelant & Elton Jantjies on too short to really rate, so too maybe Akker van der Merwe
Steven Kitshoff made a massive impact, so too Thomas du Toit and Pieter-Steph du Toit
