The Springboks registered their first win of the World Cup, scoring nine unanswered tries against neighbours Namibia.
Beating their fellow Africans 57-3, the Springboks used their rolling maul to great effect.
It took the Boks 10 minutes to get the ball rolling, with hooker Bongi Mbonambi scoring off the back of one of these mauls.
Five minutes later it was deja vu, this time flanker Francois Louw dotting down.
From the restart, Bok centre Frans Steyn caught the ball and made a superb break before putting Sbu Nkosi into space.

The Boks then won a penalty after Namibia knocked the ball down and opted for touch.
You guessed it, rolling maul and Mbonambi’s second (19-0).
Namibia, who had a man in the sin bin, then broke their duck with a penalty conversion (19-3).

It was their first and last points of the match, with SA winger Makazole Mapimpi scoring after good bursts up field by Steyn and prop Vincent Koch (24-3).
After taking the ball through eight phases, centre Lukhanyo Am was put into space by a good offload from captain on the day Schalk Brits (31-3).
Fullback Warrick Gelant then got the Boks’ first second-half try after eight minutes, with Am giving the final pass (38-3).
With the game in the bag, the Boks decided to try a few new things, with Brits giving a no-look pass to Mapimpi on his inside from a lineout maul for the wing to claim his second try (45-3).
After another maul the Boks took the ball through a couple of phases before replacement Siya Kolisi scored to make it 50-3.
It was fitting that SA scored again from a lineout maul - this time Brits dotting down to make it 57-3 after the conversion.
