[QUOTE="User1245, post: 338846, member: 40986"] I agree, it's team work extraordinaire really. All Blacks are also keeping on the pressure more. One thing I noticed with the Boks this game is our habit of relieving pressure for the other team. One instance was when we really had the All Black scrum under pressure right on their line, and a penalty was awarded. I was screaming for another scrum to be taken! Nope we took the 3 points instead. That's an extreme case though. The other instances was basically Morne Steyn kicking every time we had the All Blacks on the back foot. WHYYYYYYYY?! And then not even kicking it out. Typical. Again we weren't making head way via our backs, yet when we used the rolling maul we got good yardage. Why did we only do it once? We got an easy 3 points off the only one we used the whole freaking game. Add that to things like kicking a penalty ball dead from 60m away, resulting in a scrum [U]against us[/U] in our own territory & our coach not having ANY clue how to use subs (I still believe Dick Muir is behind this nonsense), we gave away that extra 2-3% needed to win a Test against the All Blacks.
