At the end there we didn't really know what to do with the ball. Esterhuizen forced into touch.
Bokkies against the Red Tongan Devils Live Chat
Bash bash knock. Good lineout steal from Orie.
Bongi with the mic in his ear. Rassie is probably shouting "yellow light, yellow light" into it.
Reinach offside, Boks come away with nothing there.
Jessie burrows over. See Plum, all is well again. Heroic stuff.
Just looking at that passage, if the Boks develop an offload game we're going to score much easier .
Libbok on. Pollard has probably cemented his starting spot .
Eben helps up the Tongan actor who ran into him. What the hell are they checking?
Petty bullshit, get on with the game.
Great try Tonga.
Libbok and Willie seemed a bit confused about their defensive roles out wide there.
Tongans manhandling Duane.
Duane grabbed by the head in that manhandling scene. No upstairs.
Bet Ireland wants the Tongan lineout.
Spilled Tonga b all, quick counter Boks, try Willie.
Manie nails the conversion from the touchline. Well done young man.
Mostert on. Now shit's gonna go down.
Kwagga comes on and immediately shows Kolisi how to win a breakdown penalty.
Try Van Staden. Best Bok try of the game.
Manie on point again. 42-13.
Yeah Kwagga makes Kolisi look like the passenger he is.
Forward pass Willie. Pity.
What the hell is the penalty for? Esterhuizen fell, got up right away, wasn't held.
FFS Williams, trying to be cute, Tongan try down the other end.
Kwagga scores, well deserved.
49-18. Good win.
Boks played well as did Tonga. It was very physical.
No one really had a bad game except Vermeulen, who seemed off the pace.
The throw-ins of Van Staden were not great, but Deon Fourie threw well.
The rolling maul was not that great, but the Tongans also appeared to defend it well.
Pollard's kicking was 100%, as was Mannie's.
Canan Moodie had a very good game, and Esterhuizen while a bit predictable proved he is the strongest centre in world rugby.
The way he stands tall in the tackle to do offloads is a bit like Israel Folau.
Eztebeth was a physical workhorse, surprised he played the whole game.
Esterhuizen leading the meters run for the Boks at 54, and it wasn't easy ones .
Hmm, we conceded the most tries in this game. Tonga finally showed up the type of players they have, but just shows you how strong Ox is when weighing in at 115 Kg Vs a 145kg monster. I thought we would be weaker with Fourie at 2 but the boys did well.
Orie did well in the Line out.
Agree on Vermeulen.
Thought our backline was a bit disjointed and Willie had another mix bag performance.
Reincach was eratic at the breakdown
Hendrikse control the base way better.
Moodie looked really good and still chewed up meters out wide. He should be on the wing if not 13. Kriel killed all momentum yet again. He seems to rigid and doesnt have movement to get around players.
Esterhuizen start getting better in the 2nd half.
Thought Pollard did really well and probably will start in the quarters.
Willie should be dropped from the boks.
Forward passes, poor defence etc. Does more harm than good in my book.
