Match Commentary

83'From ESPN's Tristan Barclay in Stratford: "The record-breaking try was looking less and less likely as time wore on, but the decision by head coach Heyneke Meyer to replace Springbok wing Bryan Habana after 66 minutes brought more than a few boos from the Olympic Stadium crowd. This was a humdrum evening with little to get fans on their feet, so it felt a bit cheap that Meyer denied them the prospect of seeing a record broken, no matter how slim the opportunities were becoming. Far from a thunderous warm-up to tomorrow's main event, this felt more like a wind-down after a long tournament, although Argentina's try on full-time gave the Pumas support something to cheer."
82'Conversion added - and that's fulltime! South Africa clinch the bronze medal with a 24-13 win in east London.
81'TRY TIME! Orlandi has done it! He manages to get through the breakdown on South Africa's tryline and ground the ball. Superb finish and well deserved.
