The hooker, Ruhan Greyling, nearly scored a hat-trick, however, what could have been his second try wasn’t award, due to it being a double movement and thus he had to settle for a brace.

The Free State flyhalf, Christopher Schreuder, scored 26 of his side’s points with 9 conversions, a penalty and a try.

Boland scored two tries with Romeo Eksteen dotting down in the 44th minute and the speedy Larren Buys flying over in the final minute for a consolation try.
