Go Bokke
The Springbokke is in a comfortable lead in the Rugby Championship after this past weekend’s victory over the All Blacks. SA remains undefeated after a win of 31 against New Zealand’s 27. It was a tough game with the Springbokke mainly playing catch-up rugby for most of the game. The last 15 minutes of the game was a nail biting affair with the Bokke overhauling a ten point deficit to win the game. Johan Orton/Caxton Local Media caught some of the action with his camera on and off the field. The second NZ game will be played in Cape Town on Saturday September 7.
