Bokkies against the Red Tongan Devils Live Chat

Early penalty for offside against the Boks, Tonga for poles. 3-0.

Penalty Boks. Going for the lineout 5.

Reinach quick tap and try. 7-3.

Penalty Tonga for Boks not rolling away. Lineout 5.

Tonga full of lineout tricks. They're on the line right by the post. Scrum 5.

Did I see that right that the Samoan pack has about 70kgs on the Boks?

Tonga camped on the Bok line, Bok defense holds. Willie made a mess of catching the cross kick but fortunately it went dead.

Didn't see the pack weights.

Tonga lineout working superbly, they just can't do much with it at the moment.

49 tackles to 9 the Boks have had to make. All Tonga so far.

Tonga gets wide of Willie on the outside, 10m out. Boks win a penalty on the ground.

Come on Tonga do us a huge favour.

Boks defence looking very good so far

Try Moodie. Lucky bounce off a bad Bok pass.

Defence looking good, everything else not so much.

Lots of kicking.

Bok veterans looking a little frustrated.

Penalty Boks, lineout 5.

Tonga are playing well. Boks have looked solid without the ball. 

Bok maul stopped, terrible Tongan clearance, again lineout 5.

Jessica Kriel is on...

Sanity prevails, thank you officials.

Penalty Boks as Esterhuizen loses the ball in contact . You feel a card coming here for Tonga, under siege on their line now.

Pollard has his kicking boots on

Maul try at last. Kinda zzz but I guess we'll take it.

Tonga very direct but slow in challenging the line. The Bok defence really hasn't been tested. Tonga don't have a clear plan for attacking us. They cannot take the opportunities we do give them. 

Lineout 5 Tonga.

Yeah very blunt force on attack, Tonga. Now they get it over from close though. Their lineout has been quite good for them .

Poor conversion attempt, 21-8.

Strong break Esterhuizen.

Well all going well. 

Scrum looking dominant now dispute Tonga being 70 kg heavier. 

Could be a good second half. 

Kriel throws intercept as the Boks look set to score. Halftime. Tonga's been good, Boks resilient but not particularly innovative.

Put Moodie where he belongs, beside AE.

Yep.

Yeah just attack the space between the big men, we tend to run straight at them too much.

Boks sure love their skip passes that skips out nothing except any advantage and space we might have had.
