Mighty Boks versus spaghetti Italians

Will remain uncontested scrums. Get the fatties off!

Lood gives up a penalty. Italy back on attack.

Aggressive defence from the Boks and Italy are going backwards . . .

TMO, think it might be against Kolisi?

No it was a potential neck-roll from Italian winger.

Okay let's score.

Pollard sets up the lineout. Another maul coming?

No, it goes down the line and Pieter-Steph coughs it up.

Italy kick out on the full and Boks have another lineout . . . 

Boks wasting chances. 

Bokke not making much progress and give up a penalty.

Half time 17-3 to Boks. Could have been more.

Half time and it's 17-3.

I'll take that. Good half for the Bokke, pity about the uncontested scrums though. We were monstering them.

How good is the Italian bench? 

Stop kicking so much good attacking ball away.

Let's see what happens second half. 

2nd half kicks off and both our starting props still on. Thought Rassie might have taken advantage of the situation.

Another stupid kick!

When will this madness stop! 

Italy break out through Braam Steyn but Boks defend well.

Tip tackle on Vermeulen? TMO . . .

This should be a red . . .

Oh yes, that's trouble.

Two props dump Vermuelen in his head. Will be a red. 

Pure insanity. 

Vermeulen sure knows how to milk a red card.

They should give him an Oscar for that performace.

Only 14 R omans left.

game over ...

Red card for Lovotti.

Fran s Steyn on but not sure for who . . .

For once a box kick works for us as the Romans knock it, Pollard snipes through a huge gap and gives Steph a nice run in for the try.

Try Pieter-Steph but possible obstruction . . . TMO . . .

Oh wait, TMO.

The Italian would never have caught Pollard. 

No try. Obstruction from Kolisi. Stupid!

Looks like Kolisi ran interference. N o try.

The Romans don't have too many ideas for breaching the rush defense.

Frans Steyn is on for Mapimpi.

Nice to have some pace on the wing for a change.
