It's all about pressure
After watching the Boks beat NZ on the TV last night I noticed the major difference between the Aussies & Saffas was the pressure the Boks put on the Ab's.
The Boks always have a high missed tackle count but that's because the players are not afraid to fly up out of the line to stop any momentum the AB's may have. The Boks have a lot of faith in thier scramble defence which works for them we don't seem to scramble well at all.
McCaw & Carter seemed flusted & frustrated by the Boks to the point were both at different stages got involved in some niggle with different players.
I think McCaw really felt the heat the Boks were putting on the All Blacks even to the point that his decision making suffered, he had a gift 3 points which would have put them within 7 yet he took & scrum & the Boks buried them for a tighthead win.
For the 1st time ever I saw McCaw & carter really make some schoolboy errors whilst playing in thier own backyard just from relentless pressure.

Disco you summed it up nicely there. The same thing happen to the Bokke in Brisbane and if the Wallabies can do the same then it will be your day, if they dont its back to the black board.
They had Snor on a interview this morning in afrikaans TV this morning. He think the teams are close, the diffirense at the moment is that the Bokke can put aside a loss like Brisbane away pretty quick and move on to the next one with ease and start all over again. Thats the secret between the three teams. The All Blacks havent got back from the very first loss they experiense against us and this weekend we'll see if the Wallabies can put aside their previous two losses against the All Blacks and beat them at home.
Its all between the ears.

Considering the Boks won 5 out of 6 and their only loss came in there second last game, then I don't think that is the secret. In fact I don't think there is any secret - Boks are more experienced, better drilled and most of their players are at the top of their games. Not to mention they have a solid game plan which they can stick to.
