[QUOTE="nickdnz, post: 676447, member: 38640"] Well done South Africa. South Africa definitely suprised me with the options they were taking in the first half and it certainly paid off. Also incredibly physical play, which was demonstrated by All Blacks dropping left right and center. Don't agree with some of the decisions (although I think Messam is a f*<king idiot to swing his arm like he did, it just plainly wasn't needed..). It's one of those games I actually think we played pretty well, but that first half I feel we were just out muscled and paced a bit. I want to criticize a lot of All Blacks, but other than Messam in that last bit I think we actually played pretty well. Even players who haven't stood up recently made a good impact such as Luatua. For me I'd still like to see Dagg replaced as even though he wasn't particularly bad, he still put the All Blacks under a bit of pressure with horizontal running and slow messy passes to the right, which stuck players behind the advantage line (although he didn't make the errors he has in past games and actually made it past the advantage line which is nice). Can't overly complain, win some and lose some. Tough pill to swollow but well done to the Boks. [/QUOTE]
