Do you feel the same way about the players that represent Australia as well? Or is it just the coach that must be Australian?

The Springboks when facing the All Blacks at Ellispark will be galvanised, they will have the determination to prove to the rugby world that they can compete and beat the All Blacks. They won't change the way they play, we grow up in south Africa with a culture of being hard and physical, we...

The Springboks have outscored every one of their opponents in the last 20 minutes of every match this year. The forwards may be big, but they do last the last 20 minutes. Besides that, Meyer's bench is a true impact bench, when they come on, our pace and intensity has lifted every time.

The difference in those two photo's are the time during the tackle it was taken, Bismarcks photo is taken as he hits Messam, the other photo is the result after the fend, the point of the photo is, both is in the neck region.

Type Liam Messam into your search engine, then goto images. Check out the third image.

Hmmm, I suspect we already saw that change last year. We aren't being coached by Pieter de Villiers anymore.

I usually do, why?

From a south African perspective (well mine at least) The all Blacks will always be the ultimate rivalry, firstly because of the rich history we have with them, the stories I have heard about how each team went about it to beat each other, and the fables tat came from that. I remember the...

I read somewhere it was 29 minutes, very poor. But when you consider in the second half at every set piece the Argentines first had an injury and a team meeting to waste time it is no surprise. difficult to build momentum and rhythm when that happens. Perhaps a deliberate tactic?

Yes he did deliberately play th ball as he thought it came off an Argentine hand, same as Walsh.

No he didn't his explanation was he himself thought it came off an Argentinian so Strauss must have thought the same.

Shoot me if you want, but the Springboks aren't going to win this one. Australia has belief that they can beat us, they did it 7/9 times in the past few years, we will be under prepared and look di jointed. They will find a way to outwit us in the breakdown and scrums, as we do not have the...

you have to ask why do we travel so poorly, and you have to ask why our forwards are so inconsistent at the breakdown.

Wonder if the Southern Kings will get their spot. ;)

I believe it is important that we don't get too carried away. It was a great win, but there are certain aspects that is concerning. The first thirty minutes the BOks were uninspired and pedantic, was that against New Zealand we would have been chasing the game, Argentina at that stage...
