20 3 - 3

Baikeinuku - penalty goal

25 3 - 8

Frans takes the ball into the Fijian's 22 - Steenkamp on the charge and the prop gets over! Very clinical rugby from the Boks there..

26 3 - 10

Morne Steyn makes a difficult conversion look oh so very easy

29 3 - 13

Steyn bisects the uprights to put the Boks ten points in front

33

Jannie du Plessis takes the ball into the Fijian 22 and Jaque Fourie crashes over into the corner....we're going upstairs to the TMO. Fourie stays in field and the Boks have their second try of the evening

Great break from Morne Steyn unleashes his namesake Frans - he can't quite get to the line but the Beaaaaast can
