"Play like that against the AB's and we will be crucified." - rory.n.price

"We should've at least put 20 plus points past this Ireland team!"
- Arche' van Rensburg

"In the end we Won. My happiness knew no boundaries but, my nerves are still shattered. Please boys, play better, earlier on.... next time."
- alicia.myburgh65

"I don't know if I should be sad of how we played, or relieved at the fact we won."
- Ashley 

"Rather an ugly win than a pretty loss, but the team needs a plan B."
- Ryan.Ferreira71

"A shaky start, but a better end! Well done, Bokke!"
- kev47

"Glad Boks won, but not a convincing victory by any means. Lots of work to be done in this squad."

- wade.johnson.58726

"If anything this was an ugly win that has supporters asking even more questions than before." - RF
