[QUOTE="Big Ewis, post: 587452, member: 57076"] [B]psychic duck [/B]makes a good point, whether it's true or not and verifiable somehow or not, there is definitely smt fishy about playing in SA, Johannesburg in specific. That 53-8 result right after beating them at home (did Australia) and the rest of the enumerated matches clearly draw a tendency. I wish we could hear what the players themselves have to say about the altitude thing. I'm not saying you're wrong [B]psychic[/B], I have no idea if you are. But I ask: how do you know it's altitude, and not perhaps some other factor, or simply a whole big coincidence altogether. I mean looking at other results, the (B&I) Lions beat them easily in the '09 series in Johannesburg (9-28) after losing the first two. Surely they weren't playing as hard knowing they'd won the series, sure...and I'm certain we could find other examples, but it's all very thin argumentation at this point. [/QUOTE]
