Kurt-Lee Arendse gets yellow card for ‘Croc Roll’ against Portugal

New Springbok captain Salmaan Moerat will undergo a baptism of fire against Portugal in a tough test match against Portugal in Bloemfontein.

Having already seen centre Andre Esterhuizen sent off for a high tackle, which forced Portuguese centre Jose Lima off the pitch, Moerat is now looking at a second red card as winger Kurt-Lee Arendse was shown a yellow card for a ‘croc roll’.

Just a week after Malcolm Marx faced a similar incident against Ireland, with Caelan Doris receiving a yellow card, Arendse completed a similar move against Portuguese full-back Simao Bento.

Despite being missing two players, it is the Boks who have scored since the incident thanks to a moment of individual brilliance from centre Lukhanyo Am.

Portugal went for a superb try but were called back for obstruction.
