[QUOTE="Ospervat, post: 819023, member: 72942"] So - SA defence is better! Really? The short answer is yes up 7% from the previous game against NZ. However SA tackles made was still only 82% (95/116) that's 21 missed tackles. I think it's less a case of good defence by SA and more a case of missed opportunities by the Wallabies. Interestingly Wallabies tackles made was 87%. My biggest concern is that SA still spent 67% of the second half in their own territory and never once looked like they were going to score a try. 92 runs and only 7 line breaks but against NZ they had 77 runs with 6 line breaks - so SA ability to cross the advantage line has gone backwards. Add to that 13 turnovers conceded and it spells a whole lot of trouble. There is a long long way to go yet. [/QUOTE]
