Credit where it’s due for a fine tackle and turnover by SBW.

Squeaky bum at the end. Good scrap. We were lucky to get that.

Great test, Boks dug deep and produced their classic physical style.....Marx was outstanding.

An elbow or forearm to the head should always be a card. I'm comfortable with that red.

Yes - that silly tit cost his team the game. Tremendously physical match. The Bok pack stood up well but the team lacks subtlety.
McKenzie really is a great little player.

That was a hell of a game.

I really didn't think the Bok had it in them. Glad to be so pleasantly surprised.

An utterly genuine ovation from me.

Great test, good to see SA step up. Jantjies isn't going to cut it at the top level, you cant sit that far back all day and get results at top level. Both full backs were classy.

Peter steph was outstanding and with leaders like him and marx on the field they will give NZ a run for the world cup if they add a little more craft out the back.

Whats the story with Quotas in SA these days, do they stil lhave to pick X amount of players etc, the fella rule? on the wing for the 57-0 game was just a sad sight to see and personally for him can't have been good

The red card was downgraded after the match I see. Rugby retains its very odd approach to discipline.

Hansen has stated he won't be doing the split squad move any more, after seeing how sluggish Cane and Sopoaga were at times.
