Ball comes from line out USA don’t defend the play well and De Allende makes the diagonal run to score the try on 8 minutes South Africa denied a try on 24 minutes but the run from Pollard deserves a try itself. A penalty try comes moments later for South Africa the ball was put in the corner for a try of their own but South Africa began to show their class. American mistakes gave South Africa a buffer Half time South Africa 14-0 USA

41 minutes. They lose it forward and the Eagles go short, and the turnover follows, a short kick from du Preez and Habana is over for the easy try. 46 minutes: the Springboks choose, surprise the scrum. And from that scrum, Vermeulen nearly makes it and then Bismarck du Plessis does. 51 minutes: Habana takes the ball short and makes some yards, as the flow of the game becomes decidedly one-way. John Quill then fails to roll away and the Boks kick the penalty to the corner. 57 minutes: The Boks mount another attack which ends when Kriel misses Habana with a simple pass that would’ve been for the try. 60 mins: Here come the Boks again, travelling through the middle with absolute ease, and that is a very odd hat-trick try for Habana – the ball was held up in a maul, it bobbled out on the US side and Habana caught it to score. Turns out Cam Dolan ripped it out, very well, but that counted as a backwards pass from the US and so there you are. Conversion from Steyn is good. 68 mins: South Africa lineout five metres out… driven over for another try from Francois Louw. 72 minutes: Kriel streaks straight through for another try – the Eagles defender, Phil Thiel, seeming to slip. Steyn They get it out and go wide for Thompson to make some ground, cheered on by the crowd, then Shalom Suniula tries to take on a couple of back-rowers. That doesn’t work but Taufete’e makes a great break for the try
