Deon Fourie made at least three crucial try saving turnovers when the Bools were in position to score. Lesson for the Boks, you go to the WC at your peril without a fetcher.
Overall this was a physical contest, but back play was limited to a few instances and those mostly off turnover ball. One just knew the Bools were going to be turned in those last few chances to win the game.
One pass, charge, reset… the target was so obvious….not one ball was moved beyond the obvious carrier….the only offload led to Nkosi’s try. Why not be a little more adventurous?
The commentators hyped the game, but it’s only merit was uncertainty….poor skills. Sad for the huge crowd that pitched up….so different to the school match numbers who showed up in Durban
