Ukubuka iqembu lase-Ireland lidlala ngokuzimisela ezinsukwini ezimbili ezedlule kuveze indlela iqembu eliziphethe kahle ngalo. Umqeqeshi u-Anthony Eddy ubanikeze ithuba elingcono kakhulu lokuhlula i-Blitzboks.
Ama-Blitzboks abengekho ezingeni eliphezulu. Kodwa abaningi bathatha umqeqeshi uNeil Powell njengomqeqeshi wesikhombisa ongcono kakhulu emhlabeni. Ngabe uzolenza iqembu lakhe libe ompetha uma kufanelekile?
Nakuba yonke imidlalo iqale ngo 0-0 njengenjwayelo futhi akubalwa lutho uma impempe isikhala, irekhodi liyakhombisa ukuthi ama-Blitzboks awakaze ahlulwe emidlalweni engu-32.
Ngakolunye uhlangothi, i-Ireland ayikaze iyishaye iNingizimu Afrika.
Nakuba ama-Blitzboks enze amaphutha amabili aphazamise kakhulu ngomzuzu wokuqala, i-Ireland ibingabukeki njengabantu abangashaya igoli. Bese kuthi ama-Irish adedela iphenalthi i-Blitzboks ikude. Ukushaya ama-try amabili ngomzumzu wokugcina ngaphambi kokuthi kuyiwe ekhefini kunikeze ama-Blitzboks ithuba elihle lika 14-0.
Ngesiwombe sesibili i-Ireland ibuye ivutha umlilo kodwa ayizange ithole ithuba lokufana igoli. Ngesikhathi iNingizimu Afrika ithola ithuba, balisebenzisile bashaya igoli.
Ngesikhathi i-Ireland ithola ikhadi eliphuzi ayikwazanga ukumelana nalokho, futhi umdlalo ubusuphelile.
I-Blitzboks ingene kowamanqamu. Ngabe i-Blitzboks ibuyele ezingeni layo eliphezulu? Impendulo yalowo mbuzo inguyebo.
Abazamile baseNingizimu Afrika: uChristie Grobbelaar, uShaun Williams, uJustin Geduld, noSelvyn Davids.
Kushintshwe kathathu.
INingizimu Afrika ihlule i-Ireland ngo 26-0.
