Bortolami is served a yellow card after repeated infringements by the Italians in their own twenty-two. Springboks turn down three points and boldly opt for the corner form the ensuing penalty. They set the rolling maul and plough through a weakened Italian pack before touching down. Steyn adds the extras.

Ill-discipline, in an identical position, gifts the Boks with another three points. De Marchi fails to roll away following the tackle and is penalised accordingly. Boks opt for posts and Steyn obliges.

Springboks showing plenty of desire in the opening five minutes; they secure possession early on and begin to assault the Italian defences, racking up 14 phases before the ball is lost. But the Italians soon concede a penalty when they fail to release, and Steyn knocks it over from a comfortable position..

Welcome along to our coverage of this Springbok-Italian clash on a sunny Winter's evening in Durban. Coach Heyneke Meyer has selected a team brimming with youth, experience and excitement, and there's been a highly positive reaction to the line-up. Springbok fans will be hoping the new faces can breathe some life into their side. No great surprises in the Italian selection, apart from the thirty-two year old debutant outhalf - di Bernardo. The rest of the side is a largely settled unit responsible for many an upset in recent years. Incidentally, a win against Italy would be the Boks' ninth consecutive win against 6 Nation sides. Kick off on the way..
