The Springboks have already started the 2024 Test season on a solid note.
The Boks ran in five tries (including a penalty) as they dazzled in front of over 65,000 fans at the “Home of Rugby” Twickenham in London on Saturday, beating Wales 41-13.
The final scoreline might have flattered the Boks a bit, but in the end, they did enough to seal a lekker win, News24 reported.
The game appeared in the balance when the Boks led only 24-13 with 15 minutes remaining, but the boys did enough for the remainder of the half to close out the contest.
SA 41 (14)
Tries: Jesse Kriel, penalty try, Makazole Mapimpi, Bongi Mbonambi, Edwill van der Merwe
