[QUOTE="Shaggy, post: 529862, member: 43400"] Exactly!... some of those games, like the one you mentioned, could have easily gone the other way ... if you consider where we are in the four year RWC cycle, and how many new players we are seeing/new coaches etc ... the ABs had some changes, but they were probably the least affected by retirements and injuries. They currently have the experienced players, and the confidence to close out the tight matches, but those players can't continue playing forever. Sure, there were some convincing wins, but, for the most part, the games were tight tussles ... I sometimes think that the generalRugby public has the memory of a goldfish, looking at only the last match played, and not looking at the whole picture of what a side has achieved, and their potential.
