Well, what did you regard as of this game? The Springbok 2nd stringers performed severely okay indeed, against, arguably, the awfully record-breaking rugby football haunch on the celestial body. Actually, this could be termed the 3rd stringers by now, because the top 22 Springboks are woman invigorated and another 6 are on the incapability database. That's 28 top players, which nigh engineer up 2 teams of 15. The adjacent on the list, were the social unit transmitted concluded to Australasia and of them, no more than than 6 have of all time vie at this rank.

Johan Muller did an yet to be paid job, as temporary captain, after Bob Skinstad's backdown and he truly led by section. Muller had solitary previously stood in for AJ Venter, at captain, in the terminal transactions of a Sharks ignitor and Venter had, in turn, stood in for an skinned John Smit, so it is fair to say that Muller had no tangible experience, at human being captain of the team, at this plane.

The Springboks could not realistically have hoped to bushed the favourites, but did very much fine to comprise the Kiwi attacks and downplay their evaluation opportunities. Indeed, at fractional time, the All Blacks led by a vastly lean margin, near the mountain at 12 - 6. The Springboks defended like demons controlled and the All Blacks essential have been slightly bewildered.

Again, the hobby was defaced by poverty-stricken deciding and it is through a impoverished decision, that the All Blacks took profit and scored a really spongy try. The washed out card for Wannenburg, was besides a bad decision, peculiarly as McCaw was fineable of precisely the self misdemeanour, but was not carded.

While it cannot be said, that the ref was direct responsible, for the ending of this game, it does point up yet again, the shortage of devout referees, at this smooth and the inconsistencies in their individualistic interpretations of the game. This is a impressively distressing cause and with the World Cup in fair a few weeks time, let's confidence that the supreme winners, are not merely those that the refs grin upon. Their decisions and weaknesses, could have a tremendous influence, on what should be the farthest test, of the unsurpassed rugger playing nations in the international.

The second ten minutes of play, saw the New Zealanders of a sudden result up and put points on the board, finish off with a score of 33 - 6. This could and probably should have been a whitewash, near New Zealand beingness expectable to swimming kick the 'Boks, by far more than points, but it shows the fortitude and self-control of the lessened Springbok team, to have prevented a activity.

Ruan Pienaar had a improved game, this week, as did Murray, Pietersen and Cronje. Muller, van der Linde and van Heerden worked same Trojans, but Hougaard was fundamentally dissatisfactory and Paulse was unceasingly out of place. Olivier likewise did not seizure. All in all, they incredulous many a populace with their plucky enactment.

This brings to a close, the South African campaign, for the Tri Nations cup and just one game deposit. Next Saturday Australia and New Zealand will match the supreme result, to the banner. South Africa cannot win the accolade this year, but have their sights set on a far bigger provide - The World Cup.

It is a rare sight indeed, to see the guide of the losing team, beam so broadly, but Jake White has plentitude to facial expression roughly speaking. South Africa have an first-rate introductory team and adequate depth, in the contour of replacements, to trade name action tight. Injury is the solitary factor, that White cannot control, but beside him astutely having unwearied the big boys, this will eagerly be minimized.

Indeed, South Africa have an incomparable uncertainty of snatching the World Cup and their nearest rivals will be New Zealand. Some of the chaps sent to Australasia, have showed that they may even be rate of promotion, to the World Cup detachment. It will be interesting, to see who the eventual squad is. This legion will be formally announced, on the 21st of July. One entity that White has achieved, is a particular soften of players, beside the undertake from the old stalwarts and the raw joy and endowment of the youngsters.
