This is a very weird feeling. Convincing win in terms of score line but feels like a loss. Realistically asking for 40 points differential was too much. Felt bad for Steyn, he was clearly emotional at the start, and I think it got to him. Because his kicking and decision making was quite poor through most of it, especially the first half(except from the tee).
Game plan didn't feel right, every time DDA got the ball and ran with it he made significant metres, and the final try showed a bit of what could happen when we use our backs. Steyn's bombs weren't accurate enough for chases, and we even had Arendse getting them up when he covered scrum half. It does do well in getting us territory, but I feel we are going to it way too early. If we maybe tried a few more phases with our backs or some of the smart support/second backline play, perhaps we could've had a bit more success, but who knows.
But anyway, is what it is. Again, I've typed this and it reads like we've lost, when we have won by 17 points… Let's see how things go over in Europe.

Kudos South Africa!
