Boks earn stay of execution

Writing for Sport 24, Rob Houwing reviews the Springboks' much-needed victory over the Wallabies.

"Imperfect? And then some. Thrilling? Well, mostly through the game’s laughable structural quality. A win? Thank the almighty, the Boks will happily bank it!

"South Africa finally climbed off the foot of the grotesquely lopsided Vodacom Tri-Nations 2010 ladder at Loftus on Saturday, courtesy of a breathless, bunnies-on-speed 44-31 triumph over Australia.

"This was a clash of the sloppy seconds (and thirds, of course) and it was all too apparent for much of the 80 minutes – although if you’re a fan of implausible, B-grade action movies, here was a fitting equivalent shot between white lines."
