Pollard knocks
Springboks are going to lose this one too…
4 Minutes to go in the match.
Flo Louw over the ball… Bokke penalty, deeeeep in their own 22.
Another Bokke penalty… deliberate knock.
`Forward pass by the Bokke, deeeeep in their own 22… eish!
Only a miracle can save the Bokke now.
1 Minute
Bokke penalty, Flo Louw over the ball again.
TMO
Last Bokke lineout….
Faf was useless. Pollard and Willie had games that they sooner will forget.
Another Bokke penalty… this they will kick to the corner.
Lineout 5m out… crucial!
Tryyyyyyy Dyantyi, Bokke!
TMO
Forward pass… no try!
Penalty…

Interesting you say that Cosa, haven’t seen much of Ivan v Zyl but from the bit I saw of him last week he didn’t look out of place at this level. They love Faf at Sale.
5m Lineout again!
Tryyyyyyyyyyyy Bongi Mbonambi, Bokke!
Nail biting finish
Bokke win!!
Conversion to come!
Conversion over!
Very good a pleasing result well done in the end Boks

Far from convincing by the Bokke!
But full marks for determination and staying calm here at the end!
@ grootblousmile:
Do you think the Boks will be good enough to win at Murrayfied next weekend Gbs will they keep up with the high tempo game of Scotland?
@ Bullscot:
Van Zyl has good crisp service. His general play maybe not be comparable to Faf when he is firing on all cylinders.
So, Whiteley is not the answer… and it looked better with Pieter-Steph du Toit at blindside flank and Duane at No 8…. and then even better when Flo Louw Replaced Kolisi at openside flank as well…. 2 vital, vital steals by Flo when the Bokke were dead and burried.
@ grootblousmile:
Agree on that. Never rated Kolisi but Rassie won’t be able to drop him.
Goodnight guys
