Manie throws a good long pass to Kurt-Lee and he's in.

Manie then misses the conversion. Why is he even taking the kicks? I reckon Wilco would be no worse.

Now any flyhalf could have thrown that pass, but watch our dumb press fawn….and Manie misses again. He can’t be our kicker…I’d rather have Vusi.

DW gathers another hopeful up and under from Manie but then it's knocked on.

Yes, if there's one other clear score today it's Vusi Moyo 1, Manie Libbok 0.

MotM contenders? I reckon Jaco Williams would be a good call.

Wales kick it straight into DW who accelerates away, steps a defender and then throws an inside pass to De Allende who drops it.

I have to say, I really do hope Rassie dispenses with DDA after this. He's been largely anonymous and when we have noticed him it's been because of some mistake he's made.

Sad to see Wales slipping away…just not enough people to choose from

Paul de Villiers scores. 41-0 with the conversion to come. I was going to add "for what that's worth" but Manie finally slots one and it's 43-0.

There's the final whistle.

Not great by the Bokke but they didn't concede a single point . . . so there's that.

Paul de Villiers is MotM. Not a bad call.

@Pakie

Paul de Villiers is a class act = he is by a long distance the ebst no 6 at oresent, Probably hte best openside FLank in SA wth plenty of ball sence - anddeserve the MOM,

The worst two SA playes wre Fassi and that new non-thinking flyhalf who was cluless and jeopardise the backline whenever he was at flyahalf Moyo was not up to standard

DdA wasn't great, but is still the best we can field while AE is injured...and not necessarily worse than AE...solid win... Argentina in South America will be tough.

Draad

Tioday in the Under 20 RWC final I saw a 12 who made a desperate effort to copy the example of Eszterhuizen in the 2014 Under 20 WC Final - when on his own Esterhuizen manage to lose the match against England, That he did not succeed is due to players like Jaqeed Ahmed, and Muller,

Esterhuizen never was an accopable center - I agree with White and Erasmus - rather use him as a loosie, ,

Yes, Delande was poor. Willemse tried to drop the ball into the arms of Delande - who still managed to knock on.

Did you notice the two worst players on the field was Fassi and Vusi. Both were there not on merrit but quota. Fassi is useless and can't link up with any backline player. Vusi is on there because he is black. They were the only two black players Rassies could find. No Kwotalisi, no Ox who is there on merrit. No bongi, no Am and no Mpimpi. Despite there mishaps, we were still able to win, but very poorly.

Fassi is not test standard. He is like calamity James as the last line of defence. He is better on the wing, but their are better options than him.

I need to see more of Vusi. I did not see him make mistakes, and he did have some good touches.

@sharkbok

zRead what I wrote about th e Springbok flyhalf situation. O the optimi.sitic side I would forma firm opibion on Moyo provi g h im to play on URC franhise level - but from what I have seen on Under 20 level he may develoop into the dreaded Morne mold.
