I-Blitzboks ibe nomdlalo omuhle kakhulu kulo mqhudelwano kuze kube manje emdlalweni wabo bebhekene ne-Ireland emahoreni ambalwa ngaphambi kowamanqamu ne-Australia.
Lokhu kushiye abalandeli be-Blitzbok bejabule belinde ukuthi indondo yegolide ize eNingizimu Afrika. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, i-Australia idlale umdlalo omuhle kakhulu ne-Argentina ukuze izibekele indawo kowamanqamu, futhi iqagele negolide.
Eqinisweni, umlandeli oqinile wase-Argentina uzovuma ukuthi iqembu laseNingizimu Melika lisheshe lajabula, kodwa iqembu lase-Australia lithole ukuwina okukhulu.
Ngakho-ke, njengoba la maqembu womabili ehlele ukucula izingoma zawo zesizwe kowamanqamu, kungashiwo ukuthi la maqembu akulungele ukudlala ibhola lombhoxo wawo omuhle kakhulu.
Ngemizuzu yokuqala yomdlalo, iNingizimu Afrika iye yavikela kahle kanti ngesikhathi i-Australia ijabulela ukudlala ibhola, ihlulekile ukudlula kulayini.
Ngemuva kwemizuzu emithathu kuqale inkinga ngesikhathi uJustin Geduld ekhishwa futhi ngemuva kokubambezeleka isikhathi eside, i-Australia iye yabuya ngamandla. Ngesikhathi sekusele umzuzu owodwa kuphele isiwombe sokuqala, i-Australia ishaye igoli, kodwa njengoba besekusele imizuzwana engu-30 ukuthi kuphele isiwombe sokuqala, i-Blitzboks iye yalinganisa amaphuzu.
INingizimu Afrika ishaye into ecokeme ngesiwombe sesibili futhi yashaya i-try ngomzuzu wokuqala, kodwa emizuzwini embalwa uDarren Adonis uthole ikhadi eliphuzi.
Kodwa-ke i-Australia idlale kabi emgqeni, yangenelwa i-try futhi yathola ikhadi eliphuzi ngokudlala kabi.
Sekusele imizuzu emine iNingizimu Afrika ibihamba phambili ngama-try amathathu kwelilodwa – kanti i-Aussies obekubonakala ngathi izowina, usizi lwayo luye lwanda ngesikhathi omunye uzakwabo ekhishwa ngekhadi eliphuzi.
Ngesikhathi sekusele umzuzu owodwa ukuthi kuphele umdlalo futhi bedinga igoli, bekungumsebenzi onzima kakhulu kwi-Blitzboks edle lubi, kodwa ngaphandle kwebhola basenkingeni.
Ngesikhathi i-Aussies inyusa amasokisi kube kubi kakhulu futhi ekugcineni, i-Blitzbokke iye yawina ngamaphuzu angu-34 kulandelana futhi idlale umdlalo wayo omuhle kakhulu walo mqhudelwano.
Ukuwina kwe-Blitzboks e-Seville kusho ukuthi ithole isicoco sesithupha somqhudelwano kulandelana kwi-World Rugby Sevens.
