As was expected , the first half saw the Boks coming out with a definite game plan which included a lot more positive rugby from their side. The Samoans did not have much of the possession but, looked dangerous with ball in hand. One try from Pietersen and the rest of the points off the boot of Pollard sees the Boks go into the break with an 11 point lead. Samoa by no means out of this game will surely be coming out in the second half to get the best possible out of this game

Tuilagi needed a card for that dive

good decision by Barnes tualagi went down way to easy

The kick lacks the distance and Le Roux dots down bringing the half to a close

Stanley opts to go for goal from inside his own half , close on 60 m is the distance,

The result is just a penalty as JP Pietersen held back the chasing Tuilagi

Play is halted in the end as the ref goes upstairs to get clarity on suspected foul play

Instead of putting it into touch to close off the half the Samoans kick it up field keeping it play

The Boks hard work is undone as the Samoans are awarded a penalty as the Boks failed to release the ball on the ground
