Good morning all GO BOKKE!
The leader of the dance troop looks like Bolla Conradie.
Game ON!
Penalty Bokke…. and a few handbags
Shoulder charge on FDP, should have been a yellow.
Oh dear!
Bad miss by Morné
Oh my word! Spies made contact with a Fijian.
Bokke must keep the ball and not kick away possession!
I just figured out why Bakkies only plays 50 minutes, he said during the week that he is like a old tractor that warms up after 30 minutes, so they start him up 30 min before kick off
Good call, take the scrum again.
Good scrum by the Boks and excellent hands by Smit.
That is twice that Spies has tackled.
Fiji hard on attack
Resolute defense by the Boks.
Spies goes hard…. Bokke earn a penalty
n moersse laaang skop FS
Long range penalty is OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
