Interesting combo of world side...including one Georgian and Heyneke versus Nick...should be an interesting trial run for the Boks.

 Hi Seb, welcome back, it's been a while.

 Try to World.

 3 - 7 world.

 World has had most of the ball & are attacking well.

 Old timers: Backies, Matfiel d & Habanna combine on a try.

Great try, both the locks playing like backs and fast in support.

 Matfield caught Burden from behind- whom I believe started hiers career as a wing.it goes to show that as long as a player is still fast, it does not matter how old they are.

Centre....

 Jimmy Cowan. Typical underhanded dirty Kiwi scumbag. Bakkies should have taken his head off back then.

 Congrats to the Boks. Got off to a slow start but played well in second half.

  Thanx Just_Wanked...now we know yeah.

 A clinical second half destroyed the WorldXV with the greatest of ease.

 Lovely rugby...a refreshing change from Super series...the old boytjies did well...the world 15 was a good choice and played entertaining rugby...a few how's your father and skirmishes and confrontations but ended in good spirit...the Boks are (despite the old boys) are still tops. Willie was brilliant...Bismarck too not to mention Bakkies...the world 15 was good initially but Bok spirit took over...I think or surmise there is a lot of power when guys of old play together...although not spent are pushing absolute peak...Frans at 12 was a different man...well done Boks. Having said that and despite the big final margin in score...Rory Kockett showed that scrummie stardom that we need.

 

Well done Boks...I'm proud of you.

 Probable changes for Wales - DuPreez and Mvovo to start, possible Goosen.
