Boks thrash Uruguay 134-3

South Africa beat Uruguay 134-3 in the one-off rugby Test played at the Absa Stadium in East London on Saturday afternoon. The Springboks led 56-3 at halftime.

The result represents a Springbok record for points scored in a Test match, surpassing the 101-0 thrashing dished out to Italy in Durban in 1999.

The hero was debutante winger Tonderai Chavhanga who ran in six tries, also a Springbok record. He overtook former Bok wing Stefan Terblanche who ran in five tries in the 101-0 win over Italy. – Sapa
