For all the talk about the 'Boring Boks' it again took a moment of potential match-winning majesty to give them a crucial advantage on the scoreboard. Again it was the dynamo Kolbe, who lit the Yokohama sky two years ago, who inflicted a telling body blow.Bodies battered, bruised, bloodied, abound after the final whistle but after a brutal series it was the Boks who were unbowed.
It were they who put down a marker in the first half by taking possession of the ball for extended periods and setting up camp, often deep in Bok territory. He soon made his mark when he restored parity on the scoreboard with a penalty and there were a few incredulous gasps when he eschewed a kickable penalty by opting for touch. Those gasps subsided, however, when the Lions deployed their maul, in an area that yielded profit in the first Test.
