Springboks vs Italy - 2nd test 2025

Italians in tears, someone must have put pineapple on their pizzas.

Well everyone's crying.

Boks fluffing the kickoff on purpose to have a scrum. Weird.

And Italy get a free kick, slim vang sy baas.

Boks almost over, just held up but they're checking it. Wiese with a strong run to set it up. They're going to call that Wiese lost control of the ball as he went down. Scrum Italy.

The genius….takes the stage. I’d settle for some backline innovations rather than gimmicks

Bok scrum penalized.

And Willie100 mucks around until he gets tackled and loses it.

Nice tackle Williams. Oh the guy tried to kick it that's why he lost it.

Great length of the field try Boks, Williams finishes. I thought the ball wasn't going to get wide with Esterhuizen at 12. Ou Maaik needs to explain. Manie misses the conversion, 5-0.

That’s more like it…..what gas Edwill has…the Pimp looked a little slow. Manie misses.

Boks looking a bit more clinical so far, except scrumming early on Itailian ball

MakaZollie Mapimpi was a bit slow

Esterhuizen drops the Williams offload with an open line.

Have we ever had a heavier front row…mountains not men

Edwill looks like a true Bok, 100% commitment. Great having him on the pitch.

Edwill just gets in in the corner. No luck Manie, 10-0

These commentators are getting so excited they're making no sense: "he scored in his first try, he scored in his second try!"

Yes, also noticed that. Presumably, he meant the first test and the second test.

LIbbok appears to have brought his usual pole kicking boots, not the ones he worse last week

Ja he definitely meant test.

Slaapman now with a big knock.

Dud Toit dropped like a pine tree

Who is this main commentator he sounds like a Mexican soccer commentator

And now they stop play for the TMO to check out handbags. What the hell.

Jasper is proving he is brain-dead. We all had suspicions this was the type of player he was

It was not a hard headbut, but the law does not provision for this

That's a headbutt? Are we watching soccer?

A non event head butt, but what did he expect.

Edwill should have let Pieter Steph DuToit catch the ball

That's the kind of thing you see so often on the field when players size each other up, the heads going together. Just farcical.

Pretty average at the breakdown by the Boks. Where's Mostert when you need him.

Edwill scores, getting some vibe back into the stadium after that ridiculous red card got the game to lose all its shape and killed the atmosphere. 17-0

Ox shows up the behemoths….and Libbok is deadly from in front.

Slaapman gets himself penalized just as the Boks get good ball. Just flopping onto a player on the ground.

Nortje and Moerat are second level talents

Moodie shows a combination of power and skill.

Powerful carry by Moodie to score. Quality pass from Williams.

PSDT concedes the turnover penalty. He's been pretty ordinary today.

Dud Toit’s pick and go backfires

24-0 at halftime.
