Boks beat Italy in Pretoria

The Springboks kicked off their Test season with a dominant 42-24 win over a stubborn Italian side at Loftus Versfeld Stadium in Pretoria. It was a game of two halves with the Boks dominating the first half, but the Italians tried to claw their way back into the game after the break.

The Boks finally had their breakthrough when captain Jesse Kriel, who led the Boks in the absence of the injured Siya Kolisi, scored the team's first try in the 11th minute, chasing down a well-weighted grubber kick to draw first blood.

Handré Pollard's incision came into the party when he made the follow-up conversion. The Italians kept the Boks at bay with their resilient defence that was a spanner in the works for the South Africans.

Italy roared back after the break, turning up the intensity with four spirited tries, standout finishes from Pablo Dimcheff and Niccolò Cannone slicing the deficit to 35-24 and rattling the hosts.

But just when the visitors threatened to make it a nervy finish, Marco van Staden barged over in the dying moments, slamming the door shut and sealing a 42-24 victory for the Boks.
