[QUOTE="Durbanite, post: 768071, member: 73156"] I still disagree that this was an unimportant game, atleast for the boks. In terms of the RWC it was horrible, but for rugby in general it was necessary. I don't buy the demoralisation excuse, these are rugby players, playing an international test. It has decided what the rankings look like for a while, and it broke the tie between these teams this season. The complaints i do have for this game would be A) The ref was majorly inconsistent, and also showed slight bias for SA. B) The fact that our subs (especially Paige) came on waaaay to late. C) Argentina's injuries hurt this contest quite bad. I enjoyed the post match commentary, Naas and Ashwin made some brilliant points about the coaching staff, and also put HM error in reverting back to conservative rugby into perspective, which made me hopeful that our style of rugby will go back to where we were a year or two ago. God knows I want to see bokke running rugby again. So yeah, not the greatest game, but a good win when put into perspective. Goodbye to some of the greats, and hopefully goodbye to conservative rugby. [/QUOTE]
