[QUOTE="George Ford, post: 870682, member: 74118"] The Boks can only feel vindicated for their efforts in this match. The manner in which they dismantled the home team - not helped by some ill-discipline - speaks volumes for the strides of improvement they're making as a team. To echo what is being said too few times, you can only play what's in front of you.. One would've expected this match to be more of a contest than what the scoreline suggests coz this is literally the return fixture from the previous week, but instead the Boks got stronger as the match went on. For the Argies, perhaps they should relax their selection policy a bit, but I don't that would be an immediate solution. The 2 tries they scored were also opportunistic, even the one they fluffed which came off an intercept. The Boks forwards though were immense and basically won the match for them, a testament to the superior condition this Bok team had over all their opponents they faced so far. While watching NZL/OZ game, I remember thinking this Bok pack physicality and work rate could be key to beating the Aussies and then they put up that performance ! [/QUOTE]
