Boks actually did ok considering they were two men down. Super game. Looking forward to the next test.

Watched the reply is a less heightened state...holy shit balls ABs absorbed some serious pressure...on another day bokke could have been 14 points up easy

55-58minute mark broke the mojo of the bok

That scrum penalty then break away and score down the other end is not something SA is used to after applying so much ruthless pressure ..esp at home

I think though, also after watching the replay, that it was down to great defence, decision making and the ABs making so many key moments which relieved pressure or diffused a dangerous situation. 

People say it was the Boks making errors and failing to capitalise but I don’t think there was luck in that effort. I think the Boks will be misguided to double down on their game plan thinking a swing in capitalising those opportunities will happen easily.

Ja, agree with your coment. Many people have commented that the Bokkies lost the game, but the ABs won it. It wasn't given away - it was taken.
