South Africa 24-0 Italy

Italy spread it wide and Lynagh tries the chip and chase, but it bounces out.

Italy have a player down at the moment, as Vintcent needs treatment.

And there could be trouble for the hosts here, as Wilco Louw has gone very high in the tackle. So high that there’s head contact.

It’s a yellow card for Louw for now, though it’ll be reviewed.

The Springboks have 13 men on the field now!
