On a cold and wet evening, coach Rassie Erasmus’ Boks had too much heat for a star-studded BaaBaas team who never really threatened a suinige Bok defence.

The Boks struck early with Malcolm Marx driving over from a powerful lineout maul to lead 5-0 after five minutes.

Four minutes later, Kaapse hero Cheslin Kolbe got in on the scoring action as he dotted down in the right-hand corner to stretch the lead to 12-0 after flyhalf Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu converted.
