07 Oct 2015

The Springboks have clearly come a long way since Japan. That was a second half of intensity and purpose. The quarter-finals await! 

07 Oct 2015

Steyn's conversion is good and that's that. The Springboks put in an emphatic second half performance and finish top of Pool B at RWC 2015. They will play either Wales or Australia in the quarter-finals! SA 64-0 USA. 

07 Oct 2015

80' TRY SPRINGBOKS! MVOVO! A great individual try as he kicks and chases the length of the field after immense Bok defence turns the ball over. 

07 Oct 2015

80' Habana has lost it forward. USA scrum. 

07 Oct 2015

80' Last chance for the Boks ... and Habana! 

07 Oct 2015

79' A breather for the USA as they win a penalty for an Etzebeth high tackle. 

07 Oct 2015

77' They'll have another lineout about 30m out ...

07 Oct 2015

77' The Boks don't look like they're done yet ...

07 Oct 2015

74' Steyn misses the conversion again. SA 57-0 USA. 

07 Oct 2015

73' TRY SPRINGBOKS! JESSE KRIEL! That one looked really good. Morne Steyn cuts inside to Kriel, who took it at serious pace and sliced his way through the defence and over the line. 

07 Oct 2015

72' Steyn sets up the lineout after a Bok penalty and it could very well be another rolling maul. 

07 Oct 2015

71' Here go the Boks again ...

07 Oct 2015

70' Steyn's conversion is away to the left. SA 52-0 USA. 

07 Oct 2015

69' TRY SPRINGBOKS! Francois Louw again benefits from a dominant rolling maul. That's his second of the match! 

07 Oct 2015

67' Habana almost breaks the World Cup record but can't control the ball over the line after Le Roux had stabbed it through! That could be tragic if he doesn't score another try at the tournament! 

07 Oct 2015

66' Wow! A manic few minutes there as we can all catch our breath and watch Morne Steyn knock the ball into touch for another attacking Bok lineout. 

07 Oct 2015

63' Rudy Paige is on for a Springbok debut as Fourie du Preez leaves the field! 

07 Oct 2015

61' TRY! BRYAN HABANA! It's his 15th try in World Cups to equal Jonah Lomu's record! Somehow the ball popped out the back of the maul and the Bok wing was on hand to capitalise! Steyn adds the conversion. SA 47-0 USA. 

07 Oct 2015

59' The lineout saw Damian de Allende released, who broke through and offloaded to Habana who ran in for one of his easier tries. Steyn converts. SA 40-0 USA. 

07 Oct 2015

59' TRY SPRINGBOKS! BRYAN HABANA AGAIN! 

07 Oct 2015

59' USA clear well and the Boks will have the lineout about 30m out. Frans Malherbe, meanwhile, has done his quarter-final credentials the world of good tonight in the absence of Jannie du Plessis. 

07 Oct 2015

57' Steyn releases Kriel who could not find the offload to Habana. USA ball. 

07 Oct 2015

56' And the Springbok bench is on in a big way. Trevor Nyakane and Schalk Brits come on for Beast and Bismarck while Morne Steyn is on for Handre Pollard. 

07 Oct 2015

55' It's really opening up now for the Boks ... but De Allende loses the ball as another try looked very much on the cards. 

07 Oct 2015

54' Pollard slots the conversion. SA 33-0 USA. 

07 Oct 2015

53' TRY SPRINGBOKS! Francois Louw finishes off the rolling maul to score his seventh Test try! That looked all too easy ...

07 Oct 2015

51' Habana looks like he wants that record tonight! Boks win the penalty for John Quill not rolling away. Pollard sets up the lineout 5m out! 

07 Oct 2015

49' Heyneke Meyer wastes no time in getting Schalk Burger off the park to put his feet up with the game now won. Willem Alberts is on. 

07 Oct 2015

48' Pollard misses the conversion. SA 26-0 USA. 

07 Oct 2015

47' It's BISMARCK DU PLESSIS! Duane Vermeulen broke off the scrum but was stopped short. Du Plessis was then released and was never going to be stopped from that distance. Bonus point try for the Boks. 

07 Oct 2015

47' TRY SPRINGBOKS!

07 Oct 2015

46' Du Preez opts for the scrum ...

07 Oct 2015

46' Boks go close but win the penalty 5m out for offside.

07 Oct 2015

45' Schalk looks like he's taken a bit of a battering so far ...

07 Oct 2015

45' It's going to be a battle for the USA now. The Boks have a lineout in the opposition half. 

07 Oct 2015

44' The Boks looking really up for this second half ...

07 Oct 2015

42' Pollard's conversion is good. SA 21-0 USA. 

07 Oct 2015

41' Oh no! They're going upstairs to see if Habana was in front of Du Preez when he kicked the ball. But the TMO doesn't know so Pascal Gauzere awards the try! It is Habana's 13th World Cup try - 2 behind Jonah Lomu. 

07 Oct 2015

41' TRY SPRINGBOKS! Francois Louw does brilliantly to turn the ball over before Fourie du Preez's kick through releases BRYAN HABANA, who gathers to score! 

07 Oct 2015

41' Pollard gets the 2nd half underway ...

07 Oct 2015

We're back now as the Boks look to be more clinical in the 2nd half ...

07 Oct 2015

Nick Mallett: The Boks have had poor decision making, poor handling and poor passing.
