[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 917020, member: 40658"] Seriously? There is no need to be a prick about it. You have been number 1 for the past few years, it's not something new or oblivious to the planet earth. Way to stay humble... Anyways, back to the game. What a test match, and congrats AB's. I now know how you guys feel after that Pat Lambie penalty a few years ago... Gutted that we lost, but as I said, this will be a very close game, and indeed it was. I think we will be taking more out of this game than the AB's though. To go from where we were last year, to what we did this year, is one massive step up. Rassie also stated that it will take our guys about 8-10 matches to get used to the new structures in place, and we are now at test no. 9. And I can honestly say that the structures are certainly starting to show their effectiveness. For once our subs let us down, and perhaps this was eventually what was going to happen. Poor old Faf De Klerk must be smashed right now. Prior to this game, he played every minute of every match in the RC this year, so I get why was subbed, not that Papier really had much to do. I don't understand why Etzebeth, Marx, and Kitshoff was subbed though. But then again our subs have been terrific when they came on all year. Very sorry to hear about Sam Cane and his broken neck, hope his operation is a success and that he'll be back very soon! I thought Angus Gardner had a good game, but I think he missed some things. I think for one, Scott Barritt should be very lucky he didn't get carded. But Mr. Gardner also became a bit more lenient towards him as the match progressed. One thing that is bothering me though is Aaron Smith's try and Cheslin Kolbe's try. It seemed to me that Taylor's pass to Smith went forward, and in Kolbe's instance, I can't see the ball touching the line by any of the replays. But I guess, you could argue that they cancel each other out, even though we all know that its not the case at all. I'm very interested to see what's going to happen for the EOYT with this bok team. This RC has been one of the better ones. Certainly from a South African perspective. [/QUOTE]
