  6. Double history made

    FT: South Africa 66-6 Brazil

    For the first time since 2010, South Africa have their World Cup victory.

    Despite the loss, Brazil are on the World Cup map.

  7. South Africa 66-6

    Rapid winger Ayanda Malinga was in with a try but after an obstruction occurred earlier in the move, the try was disallowed.

    Brazil have one more go...

  8. try

    South Africa 66-6 Brazil

    Bianca Silva has made ten tackles and each one has made an impact. She just made a try-saving tackle on the wing.

    Two minutes later, South Africa took their score over 60. Lerato Makua seals the deal.

  9. try

    South Africa 59-6 Brazil

    Spoke too soon.

    Winger Ayanda Malinga used her quick pace and ended that long passage of play for South Africa. Dolf completed the conversion.

  10. South Africa 52-6 Brazil

    Brazil are so resilient in their defence. Long passages of play for South Africa, but will they get another try in the last seven minutes?

  11. try

    South Africa 52-6 Brazil

    Centre Aphiwe Ngwevu takes South Africa over 50. She has been a key player in this game and has finally had her turn to get over the line.

  12. South Africa 47-6 Brazil

    A second penalty to Brazil. They are continuing to fight and Raquel Kochhann adds the three points.

  13. try

    Seven up for South Africa

    South Africa 47-3 Brazil

    A turnover, a 50-metre run and Libbie Janse van Rensburg extends South Africa's advantage, four minutes after her previous try.

    That's their seventh try and with time for plenty more.

    It's starting to get very tricky for Brazil now.

  14. South Africa 40-3 Brazil

    I can hear chants of 'bomb squad' as South Africa roll on fresh new forwards.

    The Rassie Erasmus effect!

  15. try

    South Africa empty their bench

    South Africa 40-3 Brazil

    A brilliant bit of defence from Brazil which forced South Africa to go through the phases.

    Unfortunately it wasn't enough and Libbie Janse van Rensburg scored yet another try for South Africa.

    South Africa have just done what we call a 'bomb squad'. That's where they put their whole bench on. This could be interesting...

  16. Vuvuzelas in full flow

    South Africa 33-3 Brazil

    Alastair Telfer
    BBC Sport at Franklin's Gardens

    To my right is a stand full of South Africa supporters, who have been singing African songs throughout.

    Loads of South Africans have turned out, with a good few Ireland supporters sticking around after their win over Japan earlier.

    Just as I say that, off go the vuvuzelas as Aseza Hele runs in a fourth try.

    Then to my left, a bunch of Brazil supporters have not stopped willing their side on.

    "Brazil, Brazil, Brazil" is my favourite one.

    They're desperate for a try to celebrate - just imagine the noise if it happens...

  17. try

    Hale's hat-trick

    South Africa 33-3 Brazil

    A hat-trick for Aseza Hele!

    She kept up with full-back, Byrhandre Dolf who pooped the ball over to Hele. Magic.

    Once again, Dolf adds two more onto the score board.

  18. Back under way

    South Africa 26-3 Brazil

    Time for the second-half now.

    South Africa's Libbie Janse van Rensburg gets the game under way. Let's see what the next 40 minutes has to offer us.

  20. HT: South Africa 26-3 Brazil

    It's been a tough first half for Brazil. Coming from a rugby sevens background, Brazil lack the physical size and power of South Africa.

    But they have put everything on the line physically both across the park in open play and also in the scrums, rucks and mauls.

    That shows in the amount of tackles they have made. Stats incoming...
