[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 816046, member: 74121"] Oz had two tries effectively chopped off / not awarded and gifted SA 7 points with an interception yet still defeated the RWC runners up by six points. I think their performance merited a 20+ points difference and is better than they were getting credit for. This is despite the SA SR clubs arguably being a lot stronger than the Oz ones this year. The Cooper / Foley tandem actually looked credible and their morale was high despite an unprecedented series of defeats. These are all things that I'd give the coaching staff credit for. And when I say they are underrated I don't think anyone other than myself was predicting them as favourites to finish second after being caned by NZ in the first test. I think many still won't predict that and in my opinion to predict they'll finish lower than second is to underrate them. [/QUOTE]
