Ireland 12 Springboks 16
10 Nov 2012
GARETH DUNCAN brought you live commentary from the Test in Dublin.
FULL TIME: IRELAND 12 SPRINGBOKS 16
80 mins: Ireland try a chip over the top to expose the space behind the Springboks’ defesive line. However, Pietersen covers and runs into touch. Game is over. SPRINGBOKS WIN 16-12!
78 mins: As the clock starts ticking down, Ireland are desperate to find a break from deep as they trail by four.
74 mins: GREAT ESCAPE! From a scrum penalty, Ireland charge into the Springboks’ red zone. They batter the tourists’ defence and build good momentum. But they run out of steam and concede a penalty at the tackle point. South Africa escape.
70 mins: SPRINGBOK PENALTY! Lambie kicks his third penalty. The visitors hold the lead during the closing stages. SPRINGBOKS LEAD 16-12!
69 mins: MONSTER SCRUM! Replacement prop Heinke van der Merwe has been a monster in the scrums since coming on for CJ van der Linde. With an Irish feed, the Springboks milk the penalty in a kickable position.
66 mins: Springboks milk a penalty near the halfway mark. Lambie steps up to take a shot at goal, but his effort is short.
61 mins: Wing Francois Hougaard is pinned for offside. Sexton tees up from a 50m out, but he misses as the ball falls short. Pienaar picks up the attempt and clears the danger.
56 mins: OUTSTANDING DEFENCE! Back to 15 players, Ireland were relentless on attack as they carried the ball well in Springbok territory. But the visitors hold up well, phase after phase they soak in the pressure. They eventually force the penalty as tighthead prop Jannie du Plessis contests for the ball on his feet.
52 mins: SPRINGBOK PENALTY! Ireland struggling with a man down, and concede a kickable penalty. Lambie steps up and pops it over the crossbar. South Africa are ahead for the first time as Heaslip returns from the sin bin. SPRINGBOKS LEAD 13-12!
49 mins: Springboks continue to add pressure on the Irish defence. However, Etzebeth loses the ball forward 8m from the tryline. The hosts survive, with 14 men on the field.
46 mins: SPRINGBOK TRY! De Villiers’ bravery in leadership and South Africa’s efforts pay off. The Boks finally cross the chalk via a Pienaar snipe around the fringes. Lambie converts. IRELAND LEAD 12-10!
43 mins: YELLOW CARD! The Boks get a strong rolling maul going and Ireland struggle to counter. They commit three offences, with skipper Jamie Heaslip bearing the brunt and getting sin binned.
42 mins: Springboks get an early penalty in the second half. But De Villiers turns down the option to kick at goal and orders Lambie to find touch.
HALF-TIME: IRELAND 12 SPRINGBOKS 3
40 mins: Henry concedes a silly penalty as he disrupts Springbok scrumhalf Ruan Pienaar from a side entry at the breakdown. It’s a long range attempt, but with time up on the clock, Pienaar tries his luck. He’s short, and Barnes blows for half-time.
38 mins: Springboks continue their woeful performance as they are pinned for the 11th time. Sexton gets his fifth attempt at goal, but he misses.
32 mins: YELLOW CARD! From the restart, Pietersen lands an early hit on Ireland flank Chris Henry. Both teams start a scuffle off the ball. After everyone settles, Barnes gets advice from his assistant and sends Pietersen to the sin bin.
30 mins: IRELAND PENALTY! Springbok defence under fire from Barnes. Ireland get another kickable penalty in the opposition’s 22m area. Sexton converts. IRELAND LEAD 12-3!
27 mins: Ireland outside centre Keith Earls skins the Bok defence on the outside with his pace. But Springbok flanker Francois Louw makes a great steal at the tackle point – from a difficult position.
26 mins: Let off for Ireland. Lambie misses his second penalty attempt from centre field.
24 mins: Ireland creating great momentum with ball in hand. Running the ball from all over the park. But their attack ends when lock Eben Etzebeth makes a great steal in midfield. Barnes is consistent with the whistle, blowing the Irish for holding on.
21 mins: IRELAND PENALTY! Minutes later, Springbok captain Jean de Villiers concedes a penalty at the breakdown within Sexton’s strike range. And the No 10 makes it three from three. IRELAND LEAD 9-3!
18 mins: SPRINGBOK PENALTY! South Africa poach possession off an Irish lineout, and Pietersen is put into space and he bumps Sexton off en route to the hosts’ red zone. Ireland’s defence are penalised for offside as they panic under pressure. Flyhalf Pat Lambie punishes the Irish with a successful three-pointer. IRELAND LEAD 6-3!
14 mins: GREAT RUN! Hooker Adriaan Strauss shows what he’s capable of in space – a devastating runner.
10 mins: IRELAND PENALTY! Springboks pinned again, this time the forwards are guilty of chasing a high ball from an offside position. Sexton gets his second goal attempt, and he nails it. IRELAND LEAD 6-0!
6 mins: IRELAND PENALTY! The Springboks concede the first kickable penalty at a lineout in their red zone. Sexton converts from a challenging angle. IRELAND LEAD 3-0!
3 mins: Both teams using the boot early on. So far, they are evenly matched.
KICK-OFF: Irish flyhalf Jonathan Sexton starts the match with a deep kick-off. South Africa gather easily and clear. But the ball doesn’t go into touch and Sexton tests fullback Zane Kirchner with an up-and-under. Kirchner struggles under pressure and Ireland win possession. But referee Wayne Barnes blows for a knock-on from the hosts during the move.

kok of kak?
10 Nov 2012, 21:57 pm
@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-542:
True, we played not good at all.
But then we smacked themn 60-0 which shows what we can do when things go right.
I have never seen the Bok play like this…..never.
10 Nov 2012, 21:58 pm
Ooh kak.

gumboots
when I first blogged here I talked rugby.
I guess being exposed to the toxic hatred for BZ, her rugby and my race evidenced on this blog time and again has had an effect.
now I’ll throw the hatred back, with venom , because that’s been the overwhelming “welcome” or Sagfa hospitality one continually experiences here.
my point about Dusky and child molestation a prime example.
ok for a saffa to say anything but look out if a kiwi returns it.
how sad indeed.
10 Nov 2012, 21:59 pm
@Gumboots-548:
no, seriously boots.. the boy was pants.
i would give janjtes a run against ireland or bring morne back in and then make a decision foe england based on a comparison. we might sa well learn more about both of them.
10 Nov 2012, 22:02 pm
@Hurricane-552:
yes, it was a kakka game to say the least.
alarm bells are ringing behind the scenes.
still better an appalling win than an appalling loss i suppose but boks need to turn up next week like never before and make a statement of intent.
10 Nov 2012, 22:02 pm
@poppa69-554:
Repaying evil with evil and two wrongs don’t make a right…
I’m not going to get caught up in insults whether from a Kiwi or a SAFFA – wrong is wrong…
Probably just the way I was brought up. I have always enjoyed engaging with you, but insults is soemthing I personally don’t like…
Anyways the past is the past… Learn and move on…

LOL… Die hele Bok span was uber ou maat…

@Jeraldjay-546:
Taute put in a couple of good hits – but it wasn’t his type of game.
Yes Kirchner is solid – a couple of wobbly moments under the high ball. But he does not link with his outside backs – it is always 2 or maybe 5 steps and up she goes. A full back has to be creative, he has to be able to dictate where the next move is going to be on the field, he has to have a 50m clearance kick, he must be able to work in tandem with his wings. Kirchner doesn’t offer this. I expect a lot more from a full back.
10 Nov 2012, 22:05 pm
@poppa69-554: I didn’t see that. I was reading the rugby posts only, whilst swearing at Meyer and throwing things in my living room, all while trying to calm my Rottie down and let both he and my hubby know “it wasn’t anything they had done…”.
I skipped all posts at the time that included personal insults: blogger to blogger, country to country. I was far more interested in insulting Meyer at the time.
The racist, sexist and violent sh y te has no place on here fullstop, and it doesn’t matter who it is spewing it.
Teams, players, coaches and the like: open season.
10 Nov 2012, 22:06 pm
I see “that” Kiwi (sorry, “it” Kiwi), is back….
10 Nov 2012, 22:07 pm

5 mins from end.Apologies for earlier ****.
10 Nov 2012, 22:11 pm
My posts been banned of hoe? Testing 1, 2, 3 – ride of the vulgarians?
10 Nov 2012, 22:11 pm
@Gumboots-564: I can’t repeat it here. I will be removed from the blog in restraints in a replay of any one of Skop’s numerous forced removals.
I’m either getting to old for this sh y te, or I need some reminding that it’s “just a game”
@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-562: Everyone and everything related to the Boks sucked Bakkies…..It was depressing. Have another drink mate.
10 Nov 2012, 22:12 pm

The Frogs are like a box of chocolates, you never know what you going to get from them…
10 Nov 2012, 22:12 pm
@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-566: We need the Aussies to lose……we really do. The seedings for the RWC!!!!!!

10 Nov 2012, 22:20 pm
@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-580:
D on’t call Jantjes a tun!
10 Nov 2012, 22:21 pm
You get the feeling Boks have reversed and not progressed. Dissapointing performance.
10 Nov 2012, 22:21 pm
@The Sharks rugby pedigree is packaged as dog food-569:
please, take it easy… i’m drunk and feeling the emotions… i dont like the emptions…
@The Sharks rugby pedigree is packaged as dog food-571:
ok, go frogs!
10 Nov 2012, 22:21 pm
Heyneke isnt going to budge as Bok coach as I understand SARU back him 100 %, but maybe some pressure can be applied to get him to replace his assistants.
It’s getting beyond a joke how badly our world class players are being handicapped. There simply isn’t a functioning back-line anymore, there doesnt even seem to be a distinction between backs and forwards in the Boks, just arbitrary shovelling of the ball from one guy to the next. Only good thing about the Boks is the rolling maul.
Van Graan, Loubscher, Koen, McFarkand OUT!
10 Nov 2012, 22:21 pm
Ag koek, my foon is gevok, terug soho toe. Kakken kak – maar lekker koek
10 Nov 2012, 22:22 pm
@The Sharks rugby pedigree is packaged as dog food-560: Thank you for the gentle rebuke earlier.
10 Nov 2012, 22:22 pm
@Gumboots-582:
a run not a ‘tun’
nie so nigter nie
10 Nov 2012, 22:24 pm
@I am a stormer-559:
Kirchner is solid. HM is looking for a player that doesn’t make many mistakes.
But I agree with you 100% we need a 15 that is not only solid but that can be an attacking option with ball in hand and link with 11 and 14.
But based on this past seasons performance I doubt whether Jaco Taute can fulfil that role. At this point there’s only 3 players that I rate in that role: Aplon, A Coetsee and Ludik.
10 Nov 2012, 22:25 pm
@LoanShark-578:
no, it is time for ‘slick rick’ to put on a show
10 Nov 2012, 22:25 pm
In his 18th test… probably the worst performance i have ever seen in a 10 jersey for the boks!
10 Nov 2012, 22:25 pm
@ryecatcher-572:
I’m not sure excellence can be applied to any context here…
But I agree he played better than previous games…maar still a bit pedestrian
10 Nov 2012, 22:26 pm
@I am a stormer-559:
“Taute put in a couple of good hits – but it wasn’t his type of game.”
Still looking for some positives?
The boy was out of his depth. In other words, HE IS NOT TEST MATERIAL.
HE IS KAK.
10 Nov 2012, 22:26 pm
@cab-581:
I heard you the first time. Performance was uiters kak. Right now, Scotland will be thinking that these saffas can be taken. Again. That makes me nervous.
Just not Snor.
You cannot have a stand-up comedian as your National rugby coach.
Otherwise the team becomes the joke.
10 Nov 2012, 22:27 pm
@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-588:
This frikken Bok team will send me to the bottle… they already have…

… you can’t have a messiah either because every week you are seeking a miracle…
10 Nov 2012, 22:30 pm
@Gumboots-596:
Baie snaaks.
10 Nov 2012, 22:30 pm
…expecting a miracle… eish
10 Nov 2012, 22:30 pm
@Spiesisworthless1-585: Not being funny or disrespectful, but I reckon we could raise Kitch (RIP) from the ashes to assist Meyer, and he would still do ONLY what he wants to do….when he wants it.
He doesn’t want assistants, he wants meek and mild ‘ja broers’.
Stubbornfuckthatheis.
10 Nov 2012, 22:32 pm
SB – Peter’s only problem was he was too loyal – at least he picked right mostly and this is pure crud bring dished up at present .
Night.
