Zimbabwe 43 - 8 Morocco. Close in the first half during the rain, but Zim ran away with it in the second. Ian Prior is the standout player. With him at 10 we look good.

The match is going to be a massive dud unfortunately. Field will be soggy, stadium will be empty (and not just because of the weather). Hopefully the last time they schedule a Bok match in Cape Town this time of the year. It's so stupid. Ja I hear people are a bit pissed with the price of tickets.
