The first half was a whirlwind. South Africa brought out its craft and forced the locals to accumulate yellow cards for unnecessary indiscipline. The tries came from the fixed formations: first a line that in two phases finished Damian Willemsethen a scrum that defined Cobus Reinachand later a penalty try from another scrum, where the world champions were relentless. Ireland responded with a try by Dan Sheehanbut it was conditioned by the sanctions: the initial card to James Ryan ended in red for diving headfirst into a ruck, and then came the yellow to Sam Prendergast (34′), Jack Crowley (40′) and Andrew Porter (43′).

He complement started with just 12 players for the hosts, although they surprised with a Prendergast prison which added three points. If in the first half the scrum was South African domain, in the second half it became a nightmare for the Europeans. The Springboks were not able to translate all that superiority into more points, but every time they entered the 22 meters they obtained results. From there originated the Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu trywith a hand off that took him directly to the ingoal.
