		Fly-half Ali Hepher, who was sin-binned for a technical infringement towards the end of the first half when World Cup final referee Andre Watson played almost 10 minutes of injury time, finished with 20 points from all seven conversions and two penalties.
		Griqualand, despite being without several key players through injury, fancied their chances of claiming another notable scalp and their prospects looked good when former Sale number eight Janneman Brand crashed over for a try from close range.
		It was then, though, that England switched on the turbo-charger and with Greenwood and Borthwick the two outstanding England players on view continuing to make their combined presence felt, huge gaps suddenly opened up in Griqualand's defence.

		In the East Griqualand "capital" of Kokstad I stumble upon a quite odd piece of historical trivia: librarian Stephanie Kriel tells me that what was then known as "nieu Griqualand" was recognised by Queen Victoria as a sovereign state for 16 years after Kok's arrival in 1851.
		East Griqualand remains a part of the country where very little changes, and when it does it inevitably takes a long time.

		In 1861/2, most of the Griquas gathered at Philippolis were forced to sell out to the evolving Afrikaner nation in the Orange Free State (Griqualand West) after a long and bloody conflict during which the British Governors of the Cape, who had their own agenda to appease the Boers, deserted them.
