Oooooo I don’t know what to think of what will happen in this match.
I went out on a limb and picked the Bokke to win by 5 on SuperBru.
Lions won the toss…
Such a HUGE pity that the crouds cannot be there!!
Lions players out on the field…
Handré Pollard out 1st for the Bokke, for his 50th cap…. followed by the Impi warriors…
Bokke now out on the field too!!
SA Anthem up next…
Phweeeew, could they have chosen fatter singers??
OK, formalities done and dusted!
Game time!!
Let the war begin!!!
Game ON!
Kick-Off by the British & Irish Lions!
Not a great clearance by Faf de Klerk…
Bokke penalty, No 7 in front of the kicker…. on the Bokke 22.
Duhan van der Merwe safe under the high ball…
Am with a big hit in midfield… and the Bokke have the ball!
High tempo start… but the teams still testing one onother.
BIL penalty advantage… penalty against Pieter-Steph du Toit… about on the BIL 10m line.
Forward pass… scrum!!

Bokke advantage from the scrum…
BIL kick it dead, scrum way back…

The pitch cutting up badly…

Bokke defence very good so far!
Excellent touchfinder by Faf de Klerk after the scrum…
TMO to check for a late tackle on Faf.
