Unfortunately a bit of a mix-up and Kwagga knocks.
Pumas scrum just outside their own 22.
Marco van Staden on for Kolisi.
Pumas scrum Free Kick…
Bokke MUST be more lethal now… drive home the advantage and look for more tries.
I’d also give Dan du Preez a run now in place of Wiese…
Bokke peanlty, in front… offside No 8…

Springboks 27 / 12 Los Pumas
Turnover Pumas scrum, Wiese just could not get the ball down to ground…
Good scramble kick by Damian Willemse wins the Bokke lots of ground.
Bokke must not make the game too loose…
Dan du Preez on for Wiese
Bokke penalty, off the feet…
3m outside the 22… kicked to the corner
He kicks it dead… criminal!!!

Was surprised Dan was in the team and not Jean-Luc, seen about 3 or 4 of the last Sale Sharks games of their season and Jean-Luc really stood out for me he was playing lock but could easily slot in at the back row where his physicality would be really good.
Bokke drive Julian Montoya out to touch… Bokke lineout near the Pumas 10m line.
Pumas steal the Bokke lineout.

Good point… specially considering the Bokke are missing RG Snyman (injury), Lood was still unsure at the start of the Bokke Test season and so on.
Jeeee Damian Willemse is utter kak tonight…
Orie on for Etzebeth… grrrr
Bokke maul penalty advantage…
Penalty eventually given after a Kwagga knock…
5m Bokke lineout… we’ll see a maul here….
Gbs will be interesting to get your thoughts on Miotti and Canciellere how they fare today please. Both signed for Glasgow and don’t know much about them.
Try Aphelele Fassi… his 2nd
TMO
TMO seems to think Marx crawled…
So, a penalty Pumas, 5m from their own line.
Morné Steyn on for Elton Jantjies, Jaden Hendrikse on for Reinach
Fassi almost with another try… intercept… but a prior knock by Frans Steyn
6 Minutes to go… I feel the Bokke have not placed enough emphasis on scoring enough tries.
Pumas scrum penalty.
Frans Steyn with a great touchfinder…

Must say, I don’t even know if they are on already… they certainly have not featured…
Try Jaden Hendrikse, Bokke… near right corner!
