South Africa recovered from being 31-19 down with just nine minutes left on the clock… to draw with the Baa-Baa’s (whose Taqele Naiyaravoro, from Australia, was outstanding!).

Both South African centres Francois Venter and Rohan Janse van Rensburg scored tries in the non-cap match.

It was a good start to the Springboks’ European tour opener. Next week they meet England at Twickenham for a full Test match. #GoBokke

South African tries came from: Pieter-Steph du Toit, Roelof Smit, Sergeal Petersen, Francois Venter and Rohan Janse van Rensburg; with three conversions from Patrick Lambie.
